This provides a kind of AC/DC perspective: Your machine can be running as an NFS server sharing files to other clients, plus your system can act as an NFS client obtaining shares from other NFS servers - and this can happen simultaneously. The Network File System is easily implemented, even on your home network. You have nothing to fear with NFS. The only thing required on your part, as with anything else, is time. Just because NFS is running on your corporate network does not mean that you cannot get it running on your two- machine network at home. After you get it running, you will wish you had done it sooner. NFS Design and Architecture Because NFS is based on a client/server architecture, it naturally consists of a client program and the server program. There is also the protocol that allows the client and server to communicate their requests. You will see how NFS servers share their filesystems and how the clients can access these shared filesystems. If you have ever mounted a local filesystem, the concept of NFS will be easy to understand. Even if you have never mounted a filesystem, do not fret - it will come easily. page 211
