[Chester LUG] Sharing a drive

[Les Pritchard]

I think this was mentioned for another question recently, but again
webmin is your friend! If you use that youu can easily set up NFS
shares that could be mounted on the other box.  Webmin also supports
all the other main protocols so it would be good for which ever one
you go for.
