: that is what i was thinking, but i was wondering if it would get stuck in
: some sort of cyclic problem. if i were to use this method, (correct me if
: i am wrong) after make changes on one computer i would have to run rsync
: on the second computer to sync the changes. is there any way make this
: work like a daemon and make the updates automatically?

Yes.

Is cron good enough?  I have a shell script 'rsync-perl' that I put in
cron, it is:

#!/bin/sh
rsync -avz rsync://ftp.linux.activestate.com/perl-current ~/build/perl
