What if anything do you use to compare 2 or more configs? I've used software called HyperConf (awesome program) under windows but it will not install into Ubuntu(yea I tried wine). it displays 2 configs side by side and will show differences with color, different colors mean different things. Its very simple, and I use it at work pretty regularly, however I'm a linux user outside the office and want something similar for my Ubuntu laptop.
Any comments are welcome, thank you all

Meld Diff Viewer is a very popular graphical diff program. You can compare 2 or 3 files. After installation (sudo apt-get install meld), you can run the viewer from CLI (meld &) or find it under Applications->Programming->Meld Diff Viewer.

Richard,
Check out diff for comparing 2 files and diff3 for comparing three files. They are standard command line tools. I'm not sure how you install things in Ubuntu, but I think it is apt-get install. So, if you don't have diff, try
sudo apt-get install diff.
Let me know if that helps.
Cheers,
Conor

Diff is what I've found so far and I've found it to be lacking based on the format of the output. I'm installing Meld Diff.

Meld is EXACTLY what I needed, thanks very much
