But, since I started all this just wanting to share directories between two Linux boxes (both SuSE 9.2 Pro), and since the directories that need sharing are on both systems (some on each), I got the idea that whatever filesystem service I used, I'd have to have a server running on each PC, in order to serve shares to the Client on the other, respectively.
I have two computers setup on SuSE 9.2, using NFS to transfer files between them. The desktop is the NFS server and my laptop is the client. The laptop is a dual boot with XP. The laptop has a fat partition that I use to transfer files between Windows and Linux. If the desktop is running I can boot, reboot and shutdown with out problems. If I want to move files from XP to my desktop I need to use XP to move them to the fat partition and then boot into linux on the laptop and then move them to the server. Kind of a pain, but I rarely do it, so it's not a problem for me. Rich -- Rich Matson Reno, Nv. USA
