Response to: Syncronize?
(Darned web interface! Darned typos!) In point #8 you mention that you synchronize your laptop and desktop. How? Something built into Panther? I haven't seen such a feature listed at Apple's Panther Preview web pages. Given Apple's insistence that this is the "Year of the Laptop," I would have expected them to do more to integrate things like file synchronization, but as far as I can tell they have not. Rant over, I still would like to know which software you use (and/or recommend) for synchronizing across Macs. (I hope you don't say an iDisk -- while it may work for some people, that is not feasible for my situation.) Thanks in advance.

  The following page on the Apple site mentions file synchronisation but there are few details...

  I synchronize my data using a combination of CVS and rysnc.

  use rsync + ssh + rendezvous. imagine you have two machines, laptop.local and desktop.local, from laptop you can synch with desktop while on the same link:
  
  rsync -e ssh -r /Users/name/ desktop.local:/Users/name
  rsync -e ssh -r desktop.local:/Users/name/ /Users/name
  
  or from desktop while laptop is on the same link:
  
  rsync -e ssh -r /Users/name/ laptop.local:/Users/name
  rsync -e ssh -r laptop.local:/Users/name/ /Users/name
