Re: gEDA-user: NFS Share

[Eric Daine <DAINE_EP@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey, great!
This is a fantastic bonus, now I can just maintain one geda directory 
and share it.
This will get very low usage, for right now at least, but it will come 
in very handy at times,
keep people from lurking around my office terminal!  It seems to be much 
faster then the Free-NX
method that I was trying before.

One thing I did notice was that when running on the client Debian 
machine all the layers and layer groups
in PCB have there colors.  They have never been there for me on my SUSE 
box since I upgraded to the newer GTK PCB. 
I mean, the colors are there in the drawing, just not on the menu 
buttons, or in the menu setup screen under preferences.

They are there for Debian box though over NFS weird but cool.
all I had to do to get it to run was change my PATH and export the 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the share.
I really thought I was going to have to compile everything directly for 
that Debian box to get it to work.

gee_ I am psyched,
Eric
