Yes. Here is my top level provisioning document at the correct headline:

https://github.com/grettke/osx-provision/blob/master/El-Capitan/provisioning.md#provisioning

And here are all of the tangled files:

https://github.com/grettke/osx-provision/tree/master/El-Capitan

The scripts are all in Bash for the computer and Org-Mode for the
human (there are manual steps required).

This is for OS X and the concepts all apply to Linux.

Positive. It makes it easy to break up your provisioning into separate
scripts. My scripts are supposed to be idempotent so it is easy to
play around and try new stuff. The Org document makes it easy to make
sense of everything.
