NFS is by far simpler to use in pure Linux environment, Samba is for
Windows networks. NFS has no passwords, just install it with apt-get,
and declare /etc/exports in the server, and mount the shares in the
clients /etc/fstab. That's all it takes.
Fine for home environments, but shouldn't an office environment use
LDAP for coordinated UID/GID sharing?

Not to steal the thread, but those who read this probably are the best to
advise me. I know nothing about networking, but I would like to set up
a peer-to-peer network among a Windows 7 and two Linux machines, one of
which can also be booted to XP. (If one absolutely *must* be a "master"
it must
be the Windows 7 machine.) I assume I would use samba. I don't need any
security--all the machines are mine, here in the house with me, and I
live alone.
What I need is words of one syllable on how to do it. Is there a
"Networks For
Dummies" for me somewhere?
Thanx--doug
