I use gnucash on two linux machines with a sync program called unison keeping the data files up to date on each.  I run unison 
before switching machines.  This has to be a hard and fast rule or time will be wasted when you accidentally add new data to each 
instance.

If you accidentally edit both, you manually copy what was done on one, then abandon it with the next sync.
