syncing home partitions

[Eric "Shubes"]

My notebook is set up with centos, ubuntu, and a common /home partition 
(shared by both). I'm setting up my desktop the same way (w/ fedora as 
well). Before I leave home, I'd like to synchronize the /home partitions 
between the two.
.) Is that practical?
.) Is 'rsync' the best program to use for this application?
.) Would it be wise to unmount the partition from /home and remount at 
/mnt/home before syncing? (I'm thinking that some files will be open at 
the time)
Any advice welcome.
