I don't share my $HOME dirs via NFS or anything for a couple of reasons.
First, since I use a variety of Linux distros, I know the dot-files
will collide with each other. Second, some laptops aren't always
connected, and NFS gets really unhappy about stuff like that. Third I
*think* I have my U/GIDs consistent, but I'd have to check, and NFS
wants that. And forth I'm probably missing some other reasons.
My solution thus far has been to put "data" into a $HOME/MyDocs dir on
my main file server, and connect to that via Samba or SSHFS as needed.
That works great. For me.
Now I'm finally getting my wife to try moving over to TB and FF on
Ubuntu, perhaps with some Picasa (yuck) and OpenOffice thrown in. How
can I most seamlessly connect her to her data from Ubuntu Hardy on her
laptop? (Yes, Hardy, I like LTS versions. But UbuntuOne sounds cool.)
I know I could set up SSH keys and script SSHFS, but I'm not sure how
seamless that would be and I don't want to reinvent or have to maintain
any wheels that Ubuntu/Gnome have already solved. (Remember, Ubuntu
Hardy...)
Clues?

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
