There's a recently-released Linux version, I run it on Ubuntu
10.10 x64 on my Lenovo Thinkpad T400 to sync with my custom-built
desktop running Kubuntu 10.04 x64

I'm not sure if this is what you
need/want, but have you tried Dropbox?* You can
install it on multiple computers, and then it will
keep up to 2GB of files synced between them and also
on their servers.* If you want, I'll send you a
referral link, and you can get an extra 250MB

I own a couple of

the traditional role as a travelling companion.
I'm getting tired of trying to keep them
synchronized all the time. *What I'd
like to try is to put my home directory on a usb
drive.
The downside is that I would always have to have
that drive plugged in on boot
to either laptop. *The upside is that I would
always be assured I am working
with an up-to-date home directory, regardless of
the computer I am using, at
all times. *I could also avoid constantly waiting
for rsync to work.
I tried to replace /home/foo with a symlink to
/foo on my usb drive, which
didn't work. *It looks to me as if certain items
necessary to loading a
desktop aren't present when GNOME needs them
(probably before the auto mount
utility mounts the drive).
My next attempt will be to put the usb drive
directly into /etc/fstab. *I have
read the blkid man page to find out the drive's
UUID. *Can anyone find any
pitfalls to this approach? *Will the automount
utility (it used to be HAL, but
now it might be something else) try to mount it
again?
