I have a dual boot laptop running Windows XP on a 5gig fat32 partition as well as Redhat 8.0 running on its own 5gig ext2 partition, using a 27gig fat32 partition as my "storage" between the two.
I have the windows and storage systems mounted completely funtionable from linux (ie, i can access and modify all the files no problem).
My second machine is running just Redhat 8.0 on a 12gig ext2.
Both, upon start-up in Linux recognize eth0 no problem. I have absolutely no problems connecting to my single cable-line through both computers, my browsers work perfectly, as well as various chat programs (gaim, xchat, et cetera).
My question is - is there a way to "mount" or "link" the / system from my second machine to my first machine? So that, say on my first machine I could have the folder /mnt/machine2, that upon opening would actually be the / system on the second? The second is a much older, slower machine, so I don't use it for much other than browsing and chat... I want to use it as a backup for my school files and other things that I want to have more protection for. I know I could use CD's or whatever else to back up - that is not my question.
So, is it possible to be able to remote login (terminal use would be okay, but I would prefer to be able to access it through konqueror, nautilus, or even mozilla or galeon) to the other machine?
I have searched various places online for network tech for linux, but all of it seems to be how to connect to the internet - which i've already got working - or how to do external networks across the internet for FTP or whatnot.
