If I've left anything out, please let me know. mailto:bcwhite@precidia.com (or if I've left there, mailto:bcwhite@pobox.com). I used my own "cfile" utility (http://sf.net/projects/cfile) to manage all the configuration files across multiple machines. I hope to package it up for Debian soon. Here's what I did...
