Hi Guys
Some advice please....
In order to minimise the differences between working at home and away,
my desktop and laptop have very similar folder structures. This has
proven to be a little counter-productive since, when I'm transferring
files between them using Filezilla or Nautilus, it is easy to confuse
which pane is displaying the laptop's contents and which the desktop's.
The logical solution would appear to be to rename the home folder on
one of the machines so that the path is clearly distinguishable.
However, I note that Nautilus has the "rename" option greyed out for
the home folder. To me this suggests that renaming it might not be a
good idea or, at least, needs to be done in conjunction with other
actions.
My concern is that renaming the home folder will screw up the
configuration of numerous applications. Is it best just to live with
things as they are or is there a clean method of renaming the home folder?
Thanks
Nige
Use a symlink, so that you have two home folders on one machine, but
data only stored once.
