[ltp] Syncing various data with a desktop (configs, bookmarks and such)

[Dean Hedin]

The best way is to sync directories is with rsync.  Rsync only sends the=20
differences across the connection.

You can easily write a script that runs off an anacron job every few minu=
tes=20
on your desktop.   It pings your laptop ip address, if it gets a response=
 it=20
then performs an rsync copy.
