Comment on Ask HN: I want to unify my computing to a VM

Comments

I thought about doing this but opted to use a shared dotfiles directory across all my computers instead.

That way I can keep it up in git and then download it on every new computer, then from the command line and the home directory I run:

  ln -S dotfiles/.vim
  ln -S dotfiles/.vimrc
  ln -S ..
Then I can use it as if it exists locally, then every so often go into the dotfiles directory and push my changes up.

For media, I use a dropbox account which works across all devices perfectly
