Ubuntu also has some nice network file sharing protocols to connect to it on the fly. I think I'm using Samba to create SMB shares on the Ubuntu box, which as I remember wasn't too hard to set up, and then you can use apple + k on the mac to connect to it: smb://ip.of.machine/share/point AFP wasn't too bad either to get going using Netatalk http://technically.us/n8/articles/2005/11/12/ubuntu-mac-os-x-file-sharing Just FYI if you didn't have experience with that stuff yet. Also, I got a new job working at the Academic Resource Center at KU, doing database and web applications, which I'm very excited about. Hopefully will learn alot from the experience.
