Abstract
During the lifetime of a workstation the system administrator is
faced with constant change in system configuration (updates, new
software). The users of a workstation, too, may change the system
configuration. We describe the necessary concepts for maintaining many
similar configured PC clients in a lab environment. The main software
component consists of fsrcs, a revision control system similar
to RCS and SCCS. The revision control software is
available without charge.
