Hi there,

I'm specifically curious about clustering. Not parallel processing but unifying management and use of the machines (iow the old definition).

Can one set a laptop to unmount all network drives on sleep (or is that the default)?

Can one set a laptop to mount a drive based on the presence or lack of a machine on a Rendezvous network?

Another area of concern is the iTunes library and database sharing. Given two laptops and one desktop hosting the library and database, how can one prevent data corruption and program instability? (IE one user deleting a file and then another trying to play it) The same issue exists for iPhoto.

Any other tips/suggestions/comments having to do with this topic?
