I tried this at home over my 28.8k modem though, and NFS is much slower
than FTP over that. It is simply too expensive to use NFS over a modem.
(I'm sure it is slower over fast links too, but who cares :-)
My point: NFS is convenient, but don't try installing the multi-megabyte
RPMs with it if your phone bill is an issue.
Is there anything that combines the convenience of an automounted
filesystem, read speed of FTP, is ubiquitous enough to be supported by
big mirror sites, and does automatic caching on the local disk?
Awaiting your "yes" responses :-),
