If you have networking, why not set up a network share of some kind (nfs, smb, or even ssh via shfs) and mount it (under the same path) from each computer you work on? This avoid having to replicate data and, with decent network speed, is nearly as fast as disk I/O. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
