Hi Xebar,
I think I've tried all the options, and I have found that a
centralized
system is best for me. I'm really tired of the syncing--I spend
way too
much time obssessing over the perfect system. Others have pointed
out
Dropbox -- this might work but is not FLOSS and costs $.
If you put it in the cloud, it costs $ and you lose control. See
Richard Stallman's missives on the topic. A cloud system large
enough to
hold all your digital assets could be very very expensive.
Personally, I have settled on one laptop, and a quick pluggable
monitor/keyboard for places that I do a lot of computing,
e.g. home and
work. I also carry an ergonomic keyboard in my backpack.
My desktop machine stays home, of course, and every "3 months" or
so I
transfer old projects off. The machine is always available over
cable
modem, with a service like DynDNS running so that I can ssh back
in at
my leisure. (I don't need these 8 TB with me at all times.)
Eric
