I have two computers with Ubuntu 10.10 on them, a desktop and a laptop. I have two options for handling them:
- try and keep them the same
- accept that they have different 'personalities' and branch off their on way
However, I've chosen the first option because I like to keep my files and settings the same on both computers.
I an in the process of extracting a tar
archive I made of my entire desktop's hard drive (9.7GiB) onto my laptop, so after this is done they will be exactly the same.
However, upon turning the laptop on with my freshly-copied system, things will become different.
If I take the laptop to school, for example, and do stuff there, then come back home, and do stuff on my desktop, how can I sync these computers (both ways!) with the new changes at the end of the day/week/whatever?
While thats the good obvious solution, how would you do it? Label it a share and symlink your home folder to it, or what? – TheLQ – 2010-08-22T13:50:52.133
@Quackstar - after you install dropbox it prompts you to choose a folder you wish to be the one that'll be in sync with their servers / your other computers. So you would just have to set it to for example /home/yourusername/Desktop and anything you put on your desktop would be synced... easy as that – pootzko – 2010-08-22T14:13:41.877
