mb@boxen:~$ apt-get install nfs<tab-2x> nfs4-acl-tools nfs-common nfs-kernel-server nfswatch
If I were a betting man, I'd put money that you want the nfs-kernel-server and common package.
Tab complete is a wonderful thing. -mb On 12/02/2011 12:49 AM, Michael Havens wrote:
yeah I should have done this before I wrote but I asked google how to apt-get it . and it did..... so I didn't need to ask. Sorry! I thought it would be something simple like apt-get nfs. But when I found out it wasn't I figured it was complex and I needed to ask. Google first! then you.

So I guess I need to choose one of the three computers in my network to be the server. How can I tell the computer it is going to be a server? I was told that a linux server is merely a linux desktop with different programs installed by default. ???? Hmmmmm.... now that I think of it that doesn't make much sense. What programs do I need to install to make ubuntu 11.10 desktop into ubuntu 11.10 server? I just attempted to apt-get nfs but the shell is 'unable to locate' the package. Do I need to add a website to the repository list?

Unless you want to learn rsync and simply have 2 copies of Your data which has a use also.
