What I've done is to version control my home directory with CVS and run a CVS server on my home cable modem machine. One of the first things I do on a new linux/unix machine, or cygwin installation, is to check out my home directory and I'm up and running. I even get version control of the files...:-) (Note that even though the entire home directory has to be version controlled, not all files in it has to be. And they aren't in my case. I only actually version control all of the stuff that used to take me the better part of a day to set up on a new machine)
