The world file on Gentoo is just a text list of the apps I want installed. Portage can create a system from nothing but that. However I need /etc/portage to get any machine specific settings. All the other things like network configuration, etc., is kept in /etc on my machines. If you run mysql then back up databases as Arnold suggests.
