Best synchronization tools?

So, 2007 has been “the year of travel” for me. Usually, I spend 99.999% of my work time at home, with my “main” computer handy.

When I travel, I used to just rsync my home directory to my laptop, and go. Lately, though, I’ve been relying on online services like Gmail, del.icio.us, and whatnot to make me more portable.

I’m curious what other folks use for portability — what services/tools do you use to operate more effectively when you travel? Particularly when you’ll be at another location long enough that you actually have to get “real work” done.

    well why don’t you just carry portable versions of ff, tb, and a host of other applications, with you in a usb or usb-hdd?
    have a look at http://portableapps.com/
    one note: these are the windows versions but what you can do is that you can link your profiles located on usb to shortcuts made in e.g. ubuntu or other linux flavors.
    hope it helps,
