He's right you know. Webmin does everything for you, more importantly it
makes it easy to explore all of the services that are available on your
system.

As to your original question. You should set up all of your machines with
static IPs and put the IP aliases in your /etc/hosts file. Then you can use
/etc/exports to export NFS directories, for example

/home/bjrosen/projects (rw)
/home/bjrosen/clients (rw)

And then use /etc/fstab to define the mount points for the exported
directories,

dreadnought:/user/cvs /mnt/cvs nfs user 0 0
