I believe the advantage etckeeper provides is that it integrates with yum (and apt, and other packages managers) to automatically import changes to git. That way you don't have to manually check in every change made when you update software and it installs a new config file. This sounds somewhat handy. It's a decent step between not managing things at all and using a full configuration management tool like puppet I suppose. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anybody who thinks talk is cheap never argued with a traffic cop.
