Stupid end-user tricks: darcs for /etc and /boot

[gonzlobo]

I know how etc-update works (I used Gentoo for a year). Upon emerging *some*
packages it prompts the user to view changes to important files (fstab being
one). If the user chooses the worng config file his system is hosed until he
modifies the offending file.

I got tired of pouring over intimate details of every single /etc file (and
paying for it when I chose the wrong options). It's that simple, I punted
Gentoo because of etc-update. No FUD.
