I know that this may seem a bit ambitious but..... I currently run a home network of 2 windows 98 pcs, a SuSE 7.3 machine (mine) all connected quite nicely via a smoothwall box to broadband... For reasons of mobility, I want to purchase a laptop for my (linux) use and rationalise my complete system. My intention is to build a SuSE file server (my old working box) exporting the equivalent of 'My Documents' folders to the two windows machines (I can cope with this) and also serve from this machine a home directory for the new laptop...... My quandary is, is it possible to have a home directory from the fileserver for my laptop but on those instances where the laptop is 'away' from the network, to synchronise with the server.... My questions are: Is this feasible ? How does KDE work on this, would I have to have a fully fledged KDE configuration on both the server home directory and the laptop ? I want to use a wireless connection - practical ? I have SuSE 7.3 and 8.0 - which would be better, I suspect that I shouldn't base my whole configuration on a .0 release, I was thinking of using 7.3 for the fileserver and 8.0 for the laptop ? I'll appreciate any feedback, please don't start a Smoothwall flame, I recognise that some people have issues with Mr Morrell but I don't really want to go down that route....... Many thanks Pete
