I read IMAP and a couple nnrss feeds from Gnus in three places at work, my primary laptop, which runs linux, a Windows XP VM (cygwin) on that same laptop, and on a shared Unix (various flavors, many machines, some generated somewhat on the fly) environment. In the latter case, my home directory is in an AFS directory so the Gnus dot files are shared. I just have to be careful to run gnus-slave if I've got multiple instances going. I use unison to sync the dot files with the other two home directories. I typically don't try to do merges when there are conflicts, though. I just take the one with the most recent timestamp. -- Dave Goldberg david.goldberg6@verizon.net
