File syncronization does not equal 1:1 the functionality of roaming 
profiles. Roaming profiles in conjunction with system policies let the 
admin extert a
great deal of control over the user's experience - this isn't really possible
with the current state of things on the LINUX desktop.  So wether the 
answer to
the posters questions is "yes" or "no" depends specifically on what he/she is
looking to do.
