Chapter 16. Network File System (NFS) Network File System (NFS) is a way to share files between machines on a
network as if the files were located on the client's local hard drive.
Red Hat Linux can be both an NFS server and an NFS client, which means that it can
export file systems to other systems and mount file systems exported from
other machines.
16.1. Why Use NFS? NFS is useful for sharing directories of files between multiple users on
the same network. For example, a group of users working on the same
project can have access to the files for that project using a shared
directory of the NFS file system (commonly known as an NFS share)
mounted in the directory /myproject. To access the
shared files, the user goes into the /myproject
directory on his machine. There are no passwords to enter or special
commands to remember. Users work as if the directory is on their local
machines.

Quotes: Where so many hours have been spent in convincing myself that I am right, is there not some reason to fear I may be wrong?It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be. This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.
