The thing I hate about linux, is that these nice plain text configuration 
files are put in random places ( well not quite random, they're usually
under /etc somewhere :P ) depending on the distro or version of the 
distro. Also versioning sucks , ( APIs are depend not so much on distro 
version, but rather what software is installed ). Its like they want to 
make it hard for people to deliver quality software.
