Actually it makes it easy and reasonably fast to transport sectors via the link, but otoh it limits links to FAT style drives and forces you to make the drive readonly for soft- ware on the server while a client is linked... On the other hand, real network drive interfaces or at least a remote shsucdx / mscdex are complex, and you may want to implement an already widespread protocol such as NFS or SMB if you go the complex route anyway. With nice locking/sharing etc :-). > A minimal Ubuntu install has no GUI. Actually Linux 2.2 is very slow with any GUI below 32 MB ;-). I used fvwm2 on the 12 to 32 MB systems but of course only with lightweight apps. Today that means "Dillo, not Mozilla".
