Hi Luggerz, I dont think this is quite as much about Linux as it should be, but nevertheless i thought that Luggers will always be a valuable source of information. So here is the deal. I will be soon be having two computers,a laptop and a desktop(both are relatively good ones). I have 30 gigs of hard-drive space on the laptop which will need to run Windows(for voice conversation with people back home :)), and 80gs on the desktop(which will be linux). These computers will be connected to a common 10/100 Mbps switch. My question is how would i share stuff between both machines i.e in effect, have a common 110 gb space which can be accessed by both machines. I dont mind leaving aside 5gs for each OS, but i still want to share the rest. Keep in mind that i intend to run a ftp server, which is why i want shared space :). Please feel free to answer whatever you feel is worthwhile. I have not been able to make up my mind about anything, as quite franky i dont know enough about networking multi-platform pcs, which is why i am looking for some help. if u feel this is OT then please reply off the list, but please provide me some input.
