Hi All
I have a linux 'server', (I call it this because its got the biggest HDD and
hosts my CVS, as well as being the machine that masquerades for the others
to the net) & some workstations. I want to set one of these up as a linux
wrkstation.

Is is possible, sane , or even common practice to mount my 'servers' usr,
bin,  and home and other directories as directories on this machine and run
my binaries across my network saving diskspace?

Is it best to use nfs or smb to do this?
Thanks
Glenn
