If you have other local changes, like installed modules, you should make sure these are managed by either a Revision Control System(RCS or CVS are fine choices, but SVN and GIT should also usable) or something that would automatically apply your changes like Puppet.
You can use the Trial Edition Virtual Image to test environments prior to deploying them. There is an updated VM for G, I believe.
