I have a home network consisting of two machines.
One machine is a Macintosh G4 running MacOS X 10.2.6.
The other machine is an Intel Pentium IV that I dual boot between
Windows XP Professional and RedHat Linux.

When the Intel machine is running Windows, I am able to share files
between the two computers using SAMBA with little to no problem.

I would like to be able to share files between the two computer when I
am running Linux on the Intel system. I could try using SAMBA. I
feel it is ridiculous to resort to a Microsoft Windows protocol to do
file sharing on two UNIX based operating systems.

Where can I find documentation and other other information that will
help me to set up the file sharing between the two system?
