forward:
o It is easily done, and automagic
o You can set-n-forget
o Processor time is consumed on the *other* machine :)
fetchmail:
o Also easily done, can be automagic
o You can also set-n-forget
o Important to me, you can fetchmail on dialup lines that prentice
  refuse to provide a direct mail feed to :)
o You can still look for mail on the remote machine should you happen to
  be in a position to do so

I'd probably use fetchmail, unless you're never going to want to read your
mail on the other machine(s).
