An anonymous reader writes: When I take my Notebook with me for working some weeks elsewhere, I always find myself in a big sync nightmare when returning. Syncing emails, bookmarks, email addresses, files, icq screen names and what not between computers and even different programs is a time consuming nightmare. In fact it takes days for me.
Are there any solutions which do NOT need to sync over some external service (google or so) but in the LAN only, and which do not need a special groupware or other server but work by connecting directly to the other computer, and which constitute some kind of one-click solution, work even between different mail clients (such as Thunderbird on one system and kmail on another), in order to make this process quick and smooth?
Or is there a need to create a more general framework allowing to tie systems together?
