For the news part: I run leafnode on main machine and on the laptop
and do an unidirectional sync (main -> laptop) of /var/spool/news/ [1]
when connected.  In this way, the article numbers are the same.

[1] I use leafnode2 (beta).  This of course only works as long as
    leafnode2 uses the traditional spool layout.
