[stuff about server software]

All you need is some form of sharing your home directory (and those of
other users) over a network. Either use samba or NFS or some other network
file system plus an automounter. Samba allows you to be compatible with
Windows file sharing system and it lets you share printers too. Check out
www.samba.org.

Most distributions come with various server software. You just have to
know what serving you want...
