I think its getting better.  Many of the dists are trying to follow the
fsstnd, (some more successfully than others).  Sure, distributions
will have the configuration files in /etc, instead of where the author
may have dumped it, but if thats what you choose, grab the source and
compile it yourself like we did in the good old days when Slackware
was king.
