What method are people using to keep their laptop and desktop machine in synch? I've been investigating Coda recently (http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/) and that seems the best method so far. But imagine if I use Gnus on my laptop in unplugged mode. When I get home and put the laptop back on my network, any changed files are replicated back to my desktop machine. But now it seems that the message I wrote will be sent twice (once from each machine). Does anyone know about IMAP disconnected mode (does nnimap even support that)? How does that compare to nnagent? I'm just looking for ideas. I'm currently using FreeBSD (2.x) although I'm thinking of trying NetBSD (since 1.3.3 was just released). -- Richard Coleman coleman@math.gatech.edu
