Hi Sava and All,

I do something similar. Supposed, you have the same picture set on both of
your computers, you only need 'rsync' Must be part of your distro by
default. Just type: 
'rsync -aP -e ssh comp1:/your/pictures/root/folder/on/comp1
comp2:/pictures/root/foldere/on/comp2'

(Of course without the quotes and all in one command.) comp1 is the name of
the computer where you have the modified set. comp1: or comp2: is not
necessary for the local computer. More info on rsync: 'man rsync'
The only drawback is, that if you edit your existing pictures, database on
both maschines without rsyncing between them, the older info will be lost.
