Mind Meld: Syncing Two Mac’s?

Recently I have begun using two Mac’s for my daily grind, a MacBook Pro and a MacBook have identical configurations. I was wondering if any Mac ninja out there could suggest an easy way to sync changes from one machine to the other. I’m only concerned with my “Home” directory and select Applications. SuperDuper is too slow, and .Mac is too lame.

Any ideas?

    slingshot, by martian software, is frickin awesome. I use it to sync to my external HD and my G4, from my MB.

    I am using Chronosync for daily backup of my project. Weekly backup for my Home to another Network Drive.

    It can do sync from mac to mac.

    I don’t think that Steve ever intended anyone to be able to afford 2 Mac’s at the same time…

    Second Chronosync as well. Extremely flexible and able to function as any syncing application should.

    Here is an app i have come across not personally used it but it is worth a try it was apart of that developer “My Dream App” contest it is called Portal. And another useful tool if you don’t know about it already is called Synergy(this is the gui simple version) it kvm’s one keyboard and mouse to both computers. Really nice for PC and Mac dual setup. Enjoy
