I was thinking better back up my configuration files. Then I thought, what if they were regularly backed up into a centralized directory where I also could manage them from? Like, when I'm done modifying a file it is compied from the config repository into its original directory. What about a combination of rsync and CVS? I'm not even sure this is possible. Which is why I'm open for advices from anyone who has a working model of how to set up such a convenient way of administering your system. Thank you for your time.
