No argument that this is valuable, but we cannot rely on filesystem specific solutions. Similar topic came up a few days ago following lunch. It got me thinking of a better way to ensure this kind of thing does not require home-grown foot protection from cannons. It should be fairly trivial to automatically backup /etc (and related) when 'distribution' is run, either intentionally or accidentally (or by commit mistakes, such as this). Glen
