the registry

[jdow]

Do note that there once (and probably still is) such a tool for Linux
and Red Hat used it. It was far less suitable for public use than the
array of tools used now, many or most of which coexisted with that ill
fated tool. I dare not mention its name lest somebody remember it and
try to use it.

IANAP, but I would think that a front end configuration manager would
not be an altogether bad idea.  Something that has a friendly regedt32
interface to all the config files in /etc and elsewhere.  That way you
are not putting all of your eggs in one basket, as windows does with the
registry, but you have an easier front end for editing and backing up
individual files.
