Hello all,
I am using a Win XP feature called "Offline Files", which is basically

Hello there!
I am trying to synchronize files between a laptop running either Windows
XP or Debian and a Debian file server. I have tried rsync and unison on
the Linux install of the laptop and rsync (under Cygwin) on the Windows
install, but both were unable to transfer files with special charact

Maybe a stupid question of mine, but have you created the corresponding
Samba users? I think the command is "smbpasswd -a " or something
like that. I remember having similar problems which disppeared when
entering the correct users.
Also, the user name must be specified accordingly
is is only a test machine, I would rather not have him the rights
to change passwords and see users files.
My hunch is, there is no other way but lending him full root access, but I
would be delighted to hear your wisdom!

Do I need to install any hardware detection software in step (2) so

Right, gvim is a symlink created by the 'vim' package which points to

I am too much of a newbie to attempt such a thing. I was raised on
BASIC, on the Timex-Sinclair, C64, TI-994A, then moved to Unix
briefly in college.
Two more things I need:

track of my crazy life) and palm pilot accesibility, which I

do these work out in Debian?

Thanks for the replies. More insight is very welcome, so keep them
coming.
So far what I think I am going to do is wait for SuSE 9.1 and the new

re-compare, based on user opinions. But the info now is welcome.
