You won't be able to access these files at all if you happen to be disconnected from your home network, and I think you don't want that. NFS doesn't make local copies and resynchronize them on reconnection. The Coda file system is supposed to be able to do this, but it's not quite stable yet. What I use for this purpose is rsync. > How bout mail?

You can still use rsync to synchronize the two machines' copies of mailboxes as well if your ISP doesn't have an IMAP server. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
