Your Briefcase.

Are there briefcases in Linux? Because if there isn't, I think I'll make a briefcase program.

I'm not entirely sure what you are talking about, but have a look at notecase.

I believe he is talking about Windows' briefcase feature in which folders can be synchronized across different volumes. I used it a few times (before being turned on to Linux) to keep projects in order between my home PC, thumb drive, and the computers at school.

Yes, quite useful for little things, a good tool for home networks and laptop users.

like rsync?

Perhaps a project like conduit is more like what you are looking for?

Or Unison?

I second the recommendation of unison. Unlike rsync, it allows you to merge conflicts -- thus saving you if you happen to do work on two separate machines before syncing.

unison: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/unison/

My solution to this is perhaps overkill, but I have a couple of big git repos that I clone to a USB drive. This, to me, is the ultimately fail-safe synchronization method. With a few simple commands (git pull, git add, git commit -a, git push, etc.) I have a fresh working copy of all my important text files as well as a complete history of my work on them. I find it much more convenient than flat synchronization programs like unison.

+1 git. I use it all the time.

Anyone got a nice simple getting started guide for git? I've tried using it before, but I just get confused. Our usage of git for management of config files at my work is abstracted away from us with a management program

Super Quick Guide... Didn't see that one, thanks Allan
