Logbook - RCS




I found following in the "Configuration HOWTO" manual.
My question is what software do U use as Logbook and what in RCS?

2.2. Start the Logbook!
To keep your installation in shape, it's essential that you know exactly
what happened to your machine, which packages you installed that day,
what you removed or modified, and so on. So, the first thing you'll do
before you tamper with your machine is start a ``logbook''. Therein
you'll take note of every move you make as root; in my own logbook I
also keep a section where I list all modified system files, additional
.rpms, and .tar.gz I installed. Optimally, backtracking your moves you
should be able to re-obtain a fresh installation.

Make a backup copy of the system files you touch. Better still, use RCS;
you'll be able to backtrack all changes. Never work as root without
logging your moves!
