Moving to a new employment position, I'm once again faced with purchasing some computer equipment. I'm wondering what hardware, software and combination people like the best for working seamlessly in the office AND home office environment. I'm not really a traveller - so I don't have to do the 'road warrior' thing. However, I do want to be able to work in multiple locations. I was going to buy a notebook (Lenovo T500 ~ $1200) with docking station ($200) plus keyboard and monitor ($400), but I'm wondering what other people think. Does anyone just use a desktop, with screen plus sshfs? Does anyone just use an external USB drive + using synchronization software? Does anyone just use a service like Dropbox? Obviously without the notebook to move around, you have to maintain applications and even the OS on multiple hardware. I think the notebook gives the best flexibility + power + least effort, but I'm just wondering what other people's experience is. -- Greg Rundlett nbpt 978-225-8302 m. 978-764-4424 -skype/aim/irc/twitter freephile http://profiles.aim.com/freephile
