i don't really know anything about programming, but i'm one of those few ppl who isn't satisfied w/ either Windows/MacOS or linux. as such, i have one windows box and one linux box. i have copies of certain files on both systems--those that i like to be able to read/update on both systems, and those that are important enough that i want them backed up, but more accessible than if i were to burn them to cd, for example. anyways, i've always thought it would be REALLY nice if when i have the two (or multiple) computers networked, i had the option to say that i want to have certain files "linked," so that when i make (and save) changes to the file on one computer, the copy of the file on the other computer is automatically updated and saved. would this be possible?
