> I think I'd rather use rsync than iFolder...

Well I've actually used iFolder on a Windows workstation.
Two workstations sync with the iFolder server on a Linux
box, running Nterprise Linux Services. I haven't had a
problem with that. But the new iFolder client on
the novell forge site will allow syncs between two 
workstations and it does it within seconds. If it works
iFolder would do a LOT better than rsync. With rsync
you'd have to run it on each workstation and then
in order to get immediate syncs you'd have to put it
in cron (does cron do seconds? i think just minutes)
so your update would be 1 minute behind. iFolder
by default is set to sync within 5 seconds.
If the new iFolder client works like what I have
set it will be very sweet. I just wish they would
get the install setup better. You need all the mono
stuff, plus something called simias and another
addressbook package. I don't know why they don't
roll all that into one rpm. I guess they want
you to use red-carpet, but I don't have that
and I'm not sure I want it.
