I am using a flash drive as a cache, so to speak. I followed some tips from the Emacs org-mode mailing list to get this going. It wasn't simple for me to recover when some files got out of sync on one of the machines, but it was simple enough that even I could figure it out. I used a bare repo on the flash drive and push from each machine to this, a very simple procedure that can be automated through cron, and pull to each machine also from the bare repository. I am not syncing a programming project, but my various work. Again, I am the least clueful you will find on this list, but if you wish for me to tell you the steps I followed, that is possible. One of the mailing list threads that got me up to speed relatively quickly was at this link. (Hope it's ok to link another mailing list from this one.) http://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg11647.html I apologize if the existence of a bare repo as an intermediary is a problem. This can be done on a server as well. Alan Davis You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird...
