Which brings up a ver old idea that I again posted on gentoo last summer about |
| 16 |
having a script exporting all config file in an xml database/tree and have |
| 17 |
utilities developped to display/present/change this information and then make |
| 18 |
that information transform back into the original /etc files. |
| 19 |
|

One could then export the xml and re-import it inside another system. Even |
| 21 |
better, would be that you could configure more than simply linux because the |
| 22 |
notion of "users" can easily exists in other system and using xslt on an xml |
| 23 |
could help converting it to another similar format for the target platform. |
