A few months back, I migrated my sister’s PC from Arch linux to Kubuntu. We were both a little fed up of the constant need for staying on bleeding edge, for fear of being left behind with the distribution. I was so impressed with Kubuntu I installed it on my machine too. I’m hoping that since I am now on a more “user friendly by default” distro, that I’ll be able to iron out a few things with my home network.

The idea of zeroconf is great. Personally, I hate doing network based configurations over the command line, I find them very awkward. Similarly, I don’t like having potentially non-permanent configurations hardwired into the system, and especially not ones which are automatically loaded.

I’m looking for a zeroconf compatible file sharing system (be it SSHFS, NFS or whatever) which can be loaded by a click of a button. I don’t want to have to specify mount points or anything else on the client machine, although I’d be willing to do a bit of setup on the file server if its a one time thing.

Any help out there?
