Home networking (for newbies)

| I'm trying to network my desktop PC with my laptop. Both are running RH9.
I want to be able to share files between the two computers. Is there a
set of step-by-step instructions for doing this?
| |
|
| Should I be using NFS or is there a simpler method?

NFS is a good idea.
The machine, that funtions as the server must have the nfsd running
(/etc/init.d/nfs start), and has to grant you access by adding a line in
/etc/exports, like
/home/skip 192.168.1.10(no_root_squash, rw , async)
I asume here, that the machine 192.168.1.10 wants to mount the directory
/home/skip. Just adjust the settings to your environment.
Alternatives are scp or ssh. They are good when you just want to copy one file
or directory, or if you want to remote controll the other machine.

Samba should only be used for compatibility with windows. The SMB protocol is
mess. Of course you will make it, to copy one file from one machine to the
other, but you can get the same result with much fewer overhead using nfs
If you're looking for an alternativ to nfs, try afs ( http://openafs.org )
