1 what about a special tool, that would be able to grab your system
2 configuration, build a profile of it, an dalso be able to apply a profile?

4 So that you can install gentoo, with gnome configured as you like it, then ask
5 this tool to generate you the profile of the system, so that you are enable to
6 share it, or reuse it on other systems?

8 The good point of this is that we don't limit the user choice and that we allow
9 very easy way to automate the customization (profile file distribution).
10
11 The bad news is that you need a tool to grab the system configuration properly.
12 But maybe it's as simple as diffing the changed files compared to the original
13 installed one, and file added?
14
15 what do you think?
