Using a SCM is overkill and it is impractical to use it to track the whole server. Most network drive technologies don't have transparent document versioning. + +CHUB to the rescue! + +It has following features: +* Keeps no data on the server - unlike other administration tools - chub does not modify server in any way in order to work - and allows effortless syncing between repository and server +* Shows diffs of what has changed between versions of tracked configurations - so it makes it easy to track the changes even if us pesky developers change something in production and not notify administrators +* Uses templates to help less advanced administrators to configure complex software +* Checks for syntax error of the configuration before it blows up in production and your boss complains +* UI more beautiful than anything you have ever seen (that can be build in two dayswithout a designer and specialized front end developer by using just your left foot)
