Homeapple & mac ➲ 43 Folders: Multi-Mac Sync


Before heading off for paternity leave (Congrats!!), 43 Folders founder Merlin Mann posed a Geek Throwdown: How to sync two or more Macs?

“Sync” in the sense that every file, app, and system preference is the same on each mac.

Until someone writes a Time Machine sync app, I (as well as a few commenters) figure the best way is to boot off an external firewire drive that you move between machines. Portable drives are getting faster, smaller, and cheeper. For a little hassle, you can sync without syncing.

I love The Throwdown idea. Many people working to resolve a common problem.
