I am planning to set up a small compute farm consisting of x86 notebooks on a switched ethernet lan. These only have one nic and limited disk, so that I need to import a data partition from an external file server. For this purpose I'd like to use a w98 PC that has access to internet over dsl. I envisage connecting all machines to the ethernet switch using 10/100 links. The ip addresses would be (i) the DHCP-assigned address for the w98 machine, and (ii) local addresses for the linux machines, such as 10.0.0.*
Can I use SAMBA to turn the w98 box into a file-server and use the linux notebooks as SAMBA-clients? Any links to good how-to sites, cookbooks and the like would be greatly appreciated.
