Syncing applications?

[allix]

What do you guys use to sync all your data?

Conduit looks pretty promising .

What is Conduit

Conduit is a synchronization application for GNOME. It allows you to synchronize your files, photos, emails, contacts, notes, calendar data and any other type of personal information and synchronize that data with another computer, an online service, or even another electronic device.

Conduit manages the synchronization and conversion of data into other formats. For example, Conduit allows you to;

* Synchronize your Tomboy notes with another computer
* Synchronize your your PIM data to your mobile phone, iPod, Nokia Internet tablet, or between computers
* Upload photos to Flickr, Picasa, SmugMug, ShutterFly and your iPod,
* ... and many more

Any combination you can imagine, Conduit will take care of the conversion and synchronization.

Its obviously gnome centric , but still it looks pretty decent.

I could see this useful for keeping email accounts in sync, say on a laptop and desktop .

I use Unison to sync my Slackware desktop with my Fedora Laptop. I just have bash scripts to sync certain things as necessary. Mainly it syncs Thunderbird mail, Akregator data, Documents, and podcasts. I just run Bashpodder on the desktop and sync podcasts. The nice feature for me is that it does a great job of merging files, and deletes transfer as well. So if I delete something on one platform, it will be deleted from the other platform on the next sync. It's a slower when you first run it and catalog everything, but then gets much faster on subsequent uses. And Unison goes over SSH so you want to setup keys for password free login.
