Share file-systems the Unix/Linux way with NFS

Share file-systems the Unix/Linux way with NFS

I know a lot of people use other methods to share drives and folders between computers, including SMB (via SAMBA), but most often the right/best way is with the Network File System (NFS).

With NFS you can mount a drive or folder from your Linux server to a folder on your Linux PC (or other NFS supporting device). This makes for a seamless method of file sharing that also retains all the the native security and access control features of native Linux file systems. Like owner, group, and permissions information.

Take a look and learn NFS.

Using the right software sources with OpenSUSE

Using the right software sources with OpenSUSE

OpenSUSE Linux has one of the largest software repositories in the Linux world. However, there will always be things you don't find right out of the box. Instead of rushing off and manually installing software, try doing it the right way first.
- First off, make sure it really isn't in the default repos. Often package names on SUSE are different than on Ubuntu, RedHat, Fedora, Debian etc. Instead of trying to install by package name, run YaST2 and use the excellent search capabilities of the package manager. Try disabling case sensitivity and enabling searching in descriptions and "provides". Then try variations on your search terms. Eg if you can't find UAE (the Amiga emulator) try searching for "Amiga".
- Next go to the package manager and see if there's a repository you need to add.
- If that fails, then search for the package in the OpenSUSE Build Service (OBS), at http://software.opensuse.org/search

Here's a great tutorial on 50 frequently used command line tools and their basic usage. As always, use the man pages for more detailed info.
