   The devil's in the details, of course.  As with most things Linux,   
   there's more than one correct answer.  If what you had worked, there   
   indeed wouldn't have been any reason to redo it.   
      
   I've been preparing for a major move, which will give me an   
   opportunity to upgrade more of my home systems to Slackware-15.0,   
   and I am indeed strongly considering adding cfengine.  Not because   
   I have so many systems that I *need* it, but because it really does   
   work well, and once I have it setup, most of my customizations will   
   (more easily?) survive future OS upgrades.
