The basic idea is getting all the Mac's in my household in sync. Both our personal MacBooks a shared iMac and a Mini.

The idea is; we both work on the shared mac via our own account, the MacBooks only have our personal account on them. The Mini is attached to the TV and generally functions as a Media hub and time machine backup location. It's an older Mini, late 2009 model with a couple of external usb disks attached.

We would like to each have a personal account on the MB's, log on the iMac with that account and have exactly the same setup as on the MB's.

How would I go about keeping everything in sync? Should I install OSX Server on the Mini and do something with Remote Accounts? I have no experience with this, so will have to look up a guide...

For now I only upgraded my rMB to Yosemite, all other Mac's run Mavericks. I did a clean install and the configuration I have on my rMB is what I want on my iMac. (would be the same case for my gf)

Anybody have a similar setup who can guide me?
