    Yes, the previous article is (IMHO) much more informative, as it tells you how to set up a fake .MAC server.

    The current article tells you what you can do with it ... kinda. The language is rather obtuse in some sections, and all of those tips rely on the server being an OS X machine. What if I want my central server to run Linux? BSD?

    The useful articles are this one which explains how to set up a fake .Mac server, and use Apple's Backup with it, and this one about making an iSync server.
