7 Both etc-update and dispatch-conf have good and bad points - none
8 of them are ideal tools. For example, it would be nice if etc-update could
9 archive config files into CVS. On the other hand, Im using vimdiff with
10 etc-update which makes comparing config files very easy - dispatch-conf
11 doesn't use vimdiff. Ive used both and ultimately stayed with etc-update
12 (the colors in vimdiff make it easier to work with).
