I've seen many discussions about gnus-sync and I'm considering using it
but I'm not really sure what it's supposed to do :-) 

So far I'm synchronising my messages/configuration on two machines by
syncing the relevant files/directories (Mail/, News/, .newsrc ...) with
unison but I get the feeling that gnus sync would replace it, and do it
better.

I've read the info in gnus-sync.el but is there some kind of tutorial
available somewhere ?

Thanks,

Julien.
