Jürgen Hestermann, how often do you change your working machine?

If I log off, the local profile is saved (partely) to the (Novell)

IMO: This type of sharing does not sound very suitable for a development

I think roaming profiles are something very common in a commercial
environment? It is a very good solution for the typcial professional use
case where you use most of the time the same machine but sometimes you
switch the machine. During your daily work you don't have the bottleneck
of network/server access and when logging out, all data is stored again
on the server so backups can be easily made. It combines the advantages
of a networked home/profile directory and a fat client.
Sorry for the confusion. Of course this type of sharing makes perfect
sense for office computers, stores and thin clients.
The user settings are *normally* only a few MB and are machine
independent, so they can be easily shared in whatever way you prefer
(copy/delete, network file system, etc...).
But development easily creates hundreds or thousands of MB. Sharing this
with with auto copy/delete on log on/off is not the best idea.
That's why I think there are better network sharing systems for
development machines (network file systems,
A network file system is too slow for developing. Compiling anything via

incremental syncs, dfs, ...).
Indeed, sources etc. are just stored on the local harddisk being checked
out from the vcs.
