How to synchronise filesystem between 2 Macs?

So I'm a recently converted Mac OS X user. I have an iMac which I use when I work at home, because it's comfy and powerful. I also have a white Macbook for when I'm working away. Right now, I'm constantly having to transfer files back and forth between the computers in order to always have the latest version of each file on both computers.

"Check out DropBox. It's what iDisk should have been. The free plan might even be enough for your needs.

Windows Live Sync or Windows Live Mesh would also be worth investigating -- they're both free and have clients for OS X."

"Try Unison (the file sync) tool.

Unison is a file synchronization program. It is used for synchronizing files between two
directories, either on one computer, or between a computer and another storage device (e.g. > another computer, or a removable disc). It runs on Unix-like operating systems (including > Linux, Mac OS X, and Solaris), as well as on Windows.
