Just On a related note, to edit config files, you don't have to start emacs as root, if that's a little disconcerning to you. Just apt-get install tramp (contained in recent unstable dists, at least), and have emacs do the sudoing work (hint: su and sudo are multi-method things). Tramp also knows how to handle "remote" version-controlled files (and thus, runs the rcs or cvs etc. as the user to whom the files belong automatically).
