Charlie, AoE (ATA over Ethernet) would be the easiest route to do it. Please let the list know your comfort level when playing via command line and I (or someone else) would be happy to write a short tutorial on how to get going with it. Are you looking for a way to "Share" a drive so many systems can read and write to it at once? Or will most systems be accessing the shared disk in a read only fashion? AoE + ocfs2 come stock in newer kernels, setup is rather simple and its much faster than NFS. This allows for many systems to share (read and write) to a single partition at once. If more of a read only configuration, AoE would suffice. Either way you're looking at less than 40 minutes to get it going even without much prior experience.
