Re: Mac and Linux

 If hes home then security doesn't really matter unless you are going over 
wireless in which case you should be connecting via an encryption and that 
has nothing to do with the file sharing. Also installing linux on a mac when 
you want the benefit of the mac doesn't make sense. For internal home 
networks NFS is just fine, if you are going external the problem is a bit 
bigger, we just had a discussion on what to do about that. I've had a fun 
time trying to do streaming media from one computer to the other (have one 
dvd mounted on linux and trying to play it on my mac) and for stuff like 
that NFS doesn't work well, but to be fair, it's breaking the use for nfs. 
If anything for huge slow files, copy em to your mac desk top, edit or do 
whatever, and put em back on the linux comp. ~Ben
