Greetings Alexander,

Yes this is basically what I would like to do. I dual boot both units
throughout the day and am curious to find the most efficient way of
sharing files. From my reading, it looks like I cannot avoid using the
PC as a NFS/Samba server and the laptop as a client. Thanks for the
quick answer.
