Hi,
I like using Unison (http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ and Debian
repositories)
because it does two-way (and multi-way) synchronization, and handles
deletes, renames, chmod etc.
I do work-PC <-> laptop <-> home-PC
and work-PC <-> MacBook <-> home-PC
If I add/modify/delete a file anywhere, the change eventually propagates
everywhere else.
It can tell you what changes it is about to do and their size, and allow
you to skip items, or reverse a change
The GUI is more informative, but it can be used in text-UI or even batch
mode.
I do updates both when the laptop is near the thing it is syncing with, and
small or important updates over the Internet as required.
IPv6 everywhere! Yay!
I have separate profiles for syncing "documents and software" v. "photos
and videos" v. "ISOs"
