discovery of the evening
so i just moved. across the street. no huge deal.cervantes was relocated to the room with our dsl modem, and i ran a network cable from there to my room. this normally wouldn't matter, except that all of my music is on cervantes.
happily, putting a solution in place for this wasn't nearly as hard as i was expecting. moved my usb audio card to zero, plugged it in to my amp, got it up and running pretty much without any difficulty.
the highlight of all this - i decided to try to mount cervantes' music drives locally, using sshfs-fuse, and it worked very, very easily. allow me to demonstrate the necessary set of commands:
[as root]:
emerge -av sshfs-fuse
[as user]:
mkdir cervantes
sshfs cervantes:/space/music cervantes/
and that's it. good god it's nice to have an os with such great programmers behind it.

What is your email ? I need to send you that "stuff". Mine is alphawolf260 at that email place run by that google.
Still going to have to try out sshfs myself. I tried earlier today but had some problems with file permissions. definately will try again later.
Dude, the unmounting of sshfs sucks.
That is my biggest complaint about the whole setup. That being considered, it's still a very useful tool for the sysadmin.
I've been wondering how the nautilus mount of ssh servers is accomplished. Is that just a wrapper on sftp? i am not yet sure.
Nautiulus for the unaware is the file explorer in the Gnome Desktop, which is the default graphical environment included with Ubuntu Linux.
