Although I have a Samba server activated, I mostly use NFS. Golden rule of network filesystems:

Absolutely. The only time Samba is used is when one of the two dual-booted workstations are actually running Windows. Otherwise NFS all the way.
I also only use Samba for accessing Windows systems. BTW, XP home does not support that MS NFS package, so in my case, I don't even have the option of running NFS on XP.
I'm not sure about your conclusion. IIRC some months ago, this came up, and it seems that MS has these services available as a download. (I've got an ME system that we were discussing.) Perhaps you could look at MS again. I know that there are several packages out there in Shareware form for NFS on Windows, but I don't recall seeing any freeware packages. Odd as it's not a closed protocol. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
