Robert, Yes! > if so How ? Samba is one approach, and the one I would recommend at this point in my Linux sojourn. You'd need to set up a Samba server on each machine (and, I guess, a Samba client, but maybe that comes almost automatically if you set up Samba servers). So far, I have only used things like smbclient and smbmount, I have not set up a Samba server. I watched someone do it graphically on a RedHat 7.2 install and it seemed simple enough -- never tried it myself and didn't catch all the details of what he did. Randy Kramer
