There are several Linux configuration projects going on already. It would
be nice not to duplicate effort, so you might want to start a new one only
if an existing system can't be extended to do what you want. See also:
- The Dotfile Generator
- Linuxconf
- cfengine
- COAS (Caldera's thingy at http://www.caldera.com)
- figurine
- kde/gnome have config systems I think.
My web page about the "perfect" configuration system lists most things I've
thought of on this subject:

(this is part of figurine, which is on indefinite hold at the moment)
Have fun,
