I have at home currently one pc that's up and running (dual boot winders &
rh6.0 ) but I've been nagged to (finally) set up another for my g/f.

this is what I have :
    1x PII 450 32mb ram 10gig hd
    1x P 150 32mb ram 1.6 gig hd
    1x 486  32mb ram 400 mb hd

what i would like

  486 server ( ??? ) linux only but serves winders & linux
  pII = dual : winders & linux
  P   = dual : winders & linux

what i think i know (*ehe*)
i heard somthing about samba (?) is this for winders serving only ?
(NFS?) is there a general doc for this that I missed somehow in my search ?

is this all possible ?

can I put in a couple more hd's in the "server" and install apps on it that
can be run off the other machines ?
can I do this fr winders & linux on one machine ?
would I need to get anything else ?

the main reason for all of this is I want the server (?) also to be able to
connect to my isp and the connection shared between 2 of us, I also would
like to only have apps installed once as I do a lot of development and need
as much space as possible to work with.  also it would be nice to have
access to all data at once no matter the o/s I'm currently using on the
client box :) And being able to do a port without having to reboot etc to
test would be _very_ nice.

sorry if I didn't phrase this question correctly, but i'm still _very_ new
to the networking side of computing.

TIA (_again_) ;-)
