| 1679 | If you want your Linux box to act as an NFS *server*, so that other |
| 1680 | computers on your local network which support NFS can access certain |
| 1681 | directories on your box transparently, you have two options: you can |
| 1682 | use the self-contained user space program nfsd, in which case you |
| 1683 | should say N here, or you can say Y and use the kernel based NFS |
| 1684 | server. The advantage of the kernel based solution is that it is |
| 1685 | faster. |
| 1686 | |
| 1687 | In either case, you will need support software; the respective |
| 1688 | locations are given in the file <file:Documentation/Changes> in the |
| 1689 | NFS section. |
| 1690 | |

| 1692 | protocol (NFSv2). If you also want NFSv3, say Y to the next question |

| 2060 | Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it |
| 2061 | enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them |
| 2062 | with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard |
| 2063 | disk. Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for |
| 2064 | disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server |
| 2065 | replication, security model for authentication and encryption, |
| 2066 | persistent client caches and write back caching. |

| 2069 | *client*. You will need user level code as well, both for the |

| 2071 | no kernel support. Please read |
