Rahul assurews us that sinchronation is in gnotes future and he inmplies that Snowy might work with gnotewws . We will have to wait and see. We are actively running three computers at our house and I believe that synchronizing the databases on these three machines will be useful. In that I disagree with Rahul's opinion that it is not that important. Disclaimer: I don't really know whether or not gnote is being actively worked on by Fedora developers but it had stayed the same for a long time and its man page is dated 2004. -- ======================================================================= We all dream of being the darling of everybody's darling. ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
