  You would use NFS (Network File System) which would allow linux/unix
machines to share files with each other. You can do it two ways, with
the software version of NFS (see networking section for packages) or
kernel version of NFS (requires a compile of kernel) as well as some
necessary file contained in a package in the networking section.
  I would suggest the software version so you can play around and figure
out how things work, then when comfortable start plaaying around with the
kernel version which takes some time getting it to work correctly.
  Also do a search of the SuSE database and the rest of the web for NFS
and you'll find some additional information that may help you.
