Thanks to all who replied!
It seems that Samba and rsync are the two best way to do what I want. I
regularly use rsync to do my daily backups, but:
1) how do I connect the two machines? Any special cable, and where to put it?
2) it seems to me that rsync processes *all* the files and not only the ones
that really have changed, which would take long with my 2G home dir. Maybe
some special option of rsync?
Thanks again
Rodolfo
