i just LOVE linux configuration files

[Chatterjee]

Hi,

This is just a comment:

I love Unix/linux configuration files for servers. Makes administration so much easier! Just saving config files here and there. Re-installing the OS (in rare instances) and shoving them back into their positions beats the HECK out of clicking away at some GUI in Win2K

Deffinately. But Im sure you can use the same registry on 30 different computers if you had to 🙂

I don't know about the registry... but at least they have those Policies that can be
used in different computers.....

But I still prefer a good old text file ( well more than one actually)... Windows used
to use them... win.ini system.ini and such...they should have improved them and
not forget about them completly....

Text configuration files, and a good scripting tool is every admin dream....

Hell yes! 🙂

That's why I dislike Window's registry so much: it's a pain to back up certain parts of it.

config files rule 🙂

Yeah, .ini was the day for Windows..

and if the sys has just some text files for config, you can allways config/reconfig/fix anything in the sys remotely. that's why i do like unix-like systems ... win-whatever is far from this facility 🙂
