  So far as I know, all you really need to do is export /home (and
/var/spool/mail?) via NFS or something similar from one computer and mount it
from all the others.  Oh, and installing the same distribution on all of them
will probably help here..

  Please be warned though, I've never actually done this, I just know the
theory..:-/
