a comment about sausalito...

you can do amazing things with bash, sed and find in the sausalito 
objects tree.

need to manually enable PHP for 2500 vhosts? no way man - write a 
script and run it across the tree.

once you learn the tree structure and data internals, you can do 
anything.

one caveat... NEVER use "echo '192.168.1.22' > .ipaddr". use "echo -n 
<blah>".

"man echo"

that little newline on the end of the line will turn your hair white 
overnight.
