[olug] Fedora Core 2

[Eric Penne]

The best answer I've seen so far is a CVS server for all your config 
files.  A web front end that makes it super easy to see the changes 
would work great.  Just show the differences between the original and 
the latest working one and incorporate those changes into your new distro.
