One problem with sshfs is that the instructions said to install this and that and everything went well until apt-get gave me an 'unable to locate package error.' I might have been able to overcome the error by finding the package somewhere, but I decided to just hang it up until the Clinic. There were too many commands that I didn't understand. Even when they worked I had no idea what they were doing. And bear in mind that the desktop has 17.10, while the laptop has 14.04. I intend to upgrade both to 18.04 when it is released, but the laptop upgrade is not a task that I am looking forward to. I am planning on bringing the desktop with all its peripherals. I also made a few printouts from the web interface for my router. Once we're there and I have things set up we can start by deciding whether to use nfs, sshfs, samba, or black magic. And while setting it up I plan to learn not just how to set it up but why all the pieces are necessary and what they do. It's high time I learned some basics about networking. Oh, and I'm also bringing chocolate. :) _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
