Far out man, you've come a long way in 6 weeks. I felt the same
excitment when I started, first it was about this new software, then
later, the license ;)

You're probably looking for nfs, nfs is the traditional unix tool for
file sharing.

There's a howto at http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/, but it's
probably not the easiest way to go and it explains things you wouldn't
need to worry about. I think your best bet is to try to do it through
webmin, or mandrake or redhat documentation and tools.

To do it manually, a very rough overveiw of what you need to do is on
the file server edit /etc/exports, reload the nfs daemon, and on the
other box you mount the filesystem.
