The whole system, or just one part? You could do a yum reinstall
<whatever>

backup any config files before you edit them the first time.   thats 
really all that you're changing.   you shouldn't be replacing/modifying 
any files under RPM package management except those config files, and 
most of the major services like apache httpd have a conf.d directory 
where you make your changes by creating new .conf files rather than 
modifying the supplied ones.

You should setup separate test and production systems.  Use the test system
to experiment and figure out what you want to get done and how to do it,
then apply it to the production system.

Setting up a test server is easy and you do not need to buy another
computer.  Use VirtualBox or other virtualization software on your personal
computer and install the test system there.  Then you can create snapshots
and rollback the system state as you need to.
