Hi, Joe,
To network your Linux machines so that they can access each other's
directories and files, you need a kernel with nfs (network file system)
support. Select nfs support in the kernel configuration when you
recompile your kernel. The nfs howto is really good, and so is the nfs
discussion in Welsh and Kaufman's Running Linux. Good luck,
Hidong
