Years ago, I developed two habits that have proven very useful for 
troubleshooting:

1.  I keep a plain text system administration log file for every 
computer with personal notes, console sessions, contents of key files, 
e-mails, web pages, etc., etc..  I put this under version control.

2.  I put all manually-created and modified-default system configuration 
files under version control.

Lately, I have started keeping administration logs for individual drives 
and motherboards.

I have also tried putting the entire /etc tree under version control 
right after installation.  Because I use CVS, this gets messy when 
adding and removing packages.  Also, CVS has limited support for 
meta-data.  I supposed I could add automation and/or switch to a better 
version control system; but, then again, that is etckeeper:
