Hmm not entirely sure what you mean. But with Mercurial (good
distributed SCM), you could share your .config files with something like
this:
cd ~
hg init
hg add .emacs .emacs/* .screenrc
hg commit
Whenever you make changes, just do
hg commit
Then on any other server, something like
cd ~
hg init
hg pull ssh://me@fqdn_of_server_one/~/
would get the files. Subsequent changes could be retrieved with a simple
hg pull -u
or 'pushed' to another server with
hg push ssh://me@fqdn_of_server/~/
Doesn't get much simpler than that :)
