[TriLUG] remote mounting of home directories

[Robby Dermody]

Yeah, CVS over SSH was one of the ideas that crossed my mind. I'll have to
give it further thought. I'm going to Virginia Tech, and sadly I think
that's a windoze shop right now (the horrors! I'll be using Linux and
windows emulation though!). They recommend incoming engineers use win2k pro
(I'm sorry but IMO real engineers don't use a windows OS), and they require
you to purchase a $500 software package which includes items like Visual
C++.

If I can do it with UNIX, I'll do it with UNIX.
