i have Ubuntu 9.10 64 on my desktop and laptop
there is any way to sync desktop and application settings ?

THX:p

All your settings are stored in your home folders. So syncing your home folders will also sync application settings. I guess you could just configure Dropbox to sync them.

A more "linux" way to it would be to enable ssh on both machines:
sudo apt-get install openssh-server

and then sync them with the command 'rsync' which works much like cp, but it syncs instead of copying and works over a network/internet.

sudo rsync -a /home/user name-of-laptop.local:/home/user

should work if they're connected to the same network (router). If you're interested and need more detailed instructions, post back!

In the new 12.04 release, there is this feature in the Software Center, where you syncronize your files between computers (File > Sync Between Computers).
I'm not sure whether this feature is also available in 9.10 release. You might want to check that out.

Look at the date(s) ;)
