I have not used it across different OS platforms.

I have used it extensively for backing up my girlfriend's laptop from 
University back to my boxes at home.  Useful as she had a couple of Gb 
in her home directory and backing up everything every time was 
impossible within the network constraints.

Stuck it on a cron job and she was happy (especially when she 
accidentally deleted stuff)

I set it in batch mode so that I could make changes to various settings. 
 As it was set to make changes in both directions I could easily upload 
new music or stick new links on her desktop.

I have also used it both on ssh and samba shares across the local 
network for backups to hard drive.

Cheers
Xander
