problem 1:

here's what I'm living with. I have two windows workspaces (one
desktop, one portable, both with speech recognition) I have the portable
flip side running ubuntu, my production linux server (e-mail, web), and
my "too dangerous to show to the real world" linux server. Occasionally
I have a few really remote servers I deal with that will need very
specific directory synchronization.

While I don't need to synchronize the entire workspace between all of
them, I do need to have sets of files synchronized between all of them.
What I'm looking for some tool that will do bidirectional
synchronization's on files invisibly and automatically without complaint
*unless* there is a merge problem and at which point, it would be
entirely excusable to put up the user interface dialog. Failing that, I
want the dialogue to do the synchronization to come up once when I
login, and second one I logout or tell it to.

fyi, only place that has a graphical user interface is the Windows
machines. I could in theory export X11 clients to my Windows desktop
but since ScamSoft abused speech-recognition doesn't work with X11
anymore, I've given up using X11 apps unless they are really special.

I am comfortable with using a central server to coordinate all of the
changes but unfortunately, I don't think unison can handle the number of
targets I'm talking about on the "client" end. I would love to be
proven wrong.

Why not? Won't unison handle as many conf files as you want to throw
at it? I would think the hardest part would be keeping the same
version of unison on each machine. Maybe I'm missing something here,
but I think unison is what you want.
