So I've finally been introduced to the fun of portable computing and 
also to the bliss that is file synchronisation.

The problem is that you'll have some files that you'll want to work on 
and access both on your desktop and notebook computer, how do you ensure 
that they both have current versions and how do you deal with the 
situation where the same files have been modified on both computers when 
synchronisation is attempted?

What are people doing about this? there's a few application specific 
solutions that might be worth trying. Using CVS for my code and uni work 
et al would work well, but I would like to get a slightly more general 
solution. Keeping a local copy of my mail archives is another problem. 
And I'd also like updates in my key bindings and stuff to go between 
machines (I guess that could also be CVSed, but that's starting to sound 
like too much work).

So I heard about Intermezzo and Coda. They're both in my kernel. Does 
anyone have any experience with them? Do they work as advertised? will 
they do what I need them to? Which one is better?

James.
