I have to say, I've always thought /etc/sysconfig was one of Red Hat's
strongest features. Simply set the appropriate variable, in an easily
human parseable file of key=value pairs, and away you go. They failed
a bit by including code (I'm thinking of networking here) rather just
purely config values, but other than that, it's fine. Certainly
Debian's /etc/interfaces is horrific to deal with in comparison.
