At home I've got a pc tower running arch linux. Recently I also acquired laptop for on the road, but I'd like to be working on the pc tower when I'm at home.
Now I'm pretty sensitive as to how my machine is configured (that's why I need the laptop, I hate the windows 7 stations at my university). I was wondering if there is a way to synchronize these two machines? I would like these to be "exact" clones of each other, so I could seemlesly switch from one to the other (after the sync of course).
I was thinking about using rsync
but I don't know if that's the best option. If so, what should I be careful of? Are there any good tutorials out there?
Also, if possible, I would also like the use the home pc as a website server, so there are some sections of the machine that need not be synced (namely the website's directories).
Just to be clear: both computers will be running Arch Linux.
