Set per-computer Dock placement

Slightly off-topic from the intention of the article. Is your desktop Mac a server? How do you create a mobile user account that can sync between two comps without a server?

This is part of the MobileMe package.

I have MobileMe as well. I've never seen anything about home syncing. I know it has preferences sync, but that doesn't seem to be what people are talking about. I know how mobile profiles work with OS X Server, I've just never seen anything about it with MobileMe.

The preferences in my home directory get synced because they're stored on a shared file server, basically. I had an OS X Server which was set up to store my home directory, and I set up a mobile account / portable home directory on my Macbook Pro. After a while I realised I could do the same with a Linux server replacing the OS X Server, so that's what I have now.
