In this brief blog entry I will note the steps it took for me to use the Network File System (NFS) protocol to share files between another Linux computer. All machines in this lab are either Debian GNU/Linux (unstable) or Ubuntu Linux (breezy badger 5.10 w/ back-port upgrades). After reading countless threads and comments for file sharing they all pretty much suggested SaMBa as the simplest solution. In case you aren't familiar SaMBa software will allow a UNIX machine to act as a file server to Windows clients. SMB is fine if you _need_ to share with DOS but we don't need that here. Another option is NFS.
