 For syncing desktop machine and Neo we use the latter. The recommended way to do this is the [http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/download/releases/stable/unison-manual.html#rshmeth remote shell method]:
 We start unison or unison-gtk on the desktop PC. The program will connect to the Neo via ssh and start a text-only instance of unison on the Neo to retrieve new files or deltas and to modify files on the Neo.
 For this to work, ssh must not output any text itself, because unison parses the first line of console output to determine the version of unison on the remote computer:
