Look at Unison

If you take the time to read through the docs you'll find that while
powerful the basic functionality is easy to control. Its UI looks a
touch dated but it works fine.

I use the profile feature - one for "apps" (everything needed by
evolution, gaim, and gnupg), another "eclipse" to sync my software
development work, "mp3" to sync (well, push really) my music tree, etc.
