Re: Beginners' Guide To Ubuntu One Personal Cloud
#2This article seems to skip on one of the most important aspects of Ubuntu One for me: syncing my /Home folder.
I've been keeping my photos/documents synced across platforms for years with Dropbox. Ubuntu Ones service is significantly slower at this procedure... BUT, Dropbox doesn't give me the flexibility to sync my config files (or if it does, I have no idea how.)
Keeping my config files synced is immeasurably more valuable for me across my Ubuntu machines and makes a re-install much more pleasurable. I no longer need to spend the hour or so I used to setting up my software the way I like it... it just works.

#3Ubuntu One's killer app is Tomboy[1] which can use it to synchronize across computers and Androids[2] and is consistently the app I use the most after the terminal and browser. For everything: scribbling, grocery/shopping/todo lists, things to remember, personal wiki articles...

If you don't have a problem with commercial software, you'll probably find Evernote [1] a great improvement on Tomboy.

I just use a single laptop with a dock. Saves all the hassle of synchronisation.

Evernote has one of the least-intuitive, most-bloated UIs I've ever seen.
I was a fan of Wunderlist, but it seems that the product is no longer updated.

Well, yes... if only. I have my two work machines... which don't go home with me... and my two personal machines. I would, however, love to have a dock to replace my work desktop.

Is Tomboy still a C# bridgehead or has it been rewritten?

Couldn't you just store your config files in Dropbox and make symlinks? For example, my .vimrc is a symlink to Dropbox/.vimrc

Why does it matter?
