[mythtv-users] Samba or NFS?

[Chad]

Yes, it is the preferred networking method between multiple linux
boxes.  Samba will work, but has some overhead that you may see a
difference with if you were to give NFS a run.  NFS has other benefits
as well, but my guess is you really only care about the speed and
efficiency of getting your data to your front end, and I do think NFS
would help there.

Cool
