Lately I've been trying to do stuff with nfs.  It's working out so far,  but 
there are times when it gets cumbersome.  In kmail,  for example,  I will go to 
enter or leave a given mail folder and the LAN will appear to saturate,  
according to what I see on the light on the hub,  and the indications in top on 
the other end.  And it's *slow* at that point.  I may need to find a better 
approach to this.
