So anyway, the application that I thought of for these things was to store a copy all the configuration data for my user account so that when I go on site, getting all my preferred vim/bash etc settings is as simple as plugging this thing in. But it occurs to me that somewhere, somehow there has to be a network solution to this. Does anyone know of one? I know you can use LDAP to store netscape settings, which is lovely, but I'm looking for something a bit more general. I suspect that no such thing exists since as far as I know there aren't any really commonly used libraries for accessing configuration information (Is this what gnome-conf does? Are there patches for existing software to read configuration from gnome-conf?) Is there a better solution than scp? I guess there's CVS. It all sounds a bit messy though. Are user-level filesystems the way to go? James. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
