OffTopic: Synchronization of /etc or .dot-files... CVS?

[Alexander Kushnirenko <kushnir@fsgi02.FNAL.GOV>]

Hi,

It's a little bit off-topic.  

We have a set of Debian computers, which are not quite the same.  It would be 
useful to synchronize certain files on all nodes like /etc/profile  or 
/etc/X11/Xresources, or /etc/menu and so on.  But of course not all the files.

Reflection of this problem is synchronization of user's .dot-files on 
different nodes.

Would CVS be an appropriate tool for that purpose?  Or is there better one 
tool?

Thanks,
Sasha.
