Hello and welcome to LinuxQuestions,

You'll need to be a bit more specific in your question. What distro / version are you running on your Linux server and what's the OS and version on your client computers? What exactly are you looking for? Share your data with the client computers and have a centralized data storage?

Looking forward to your participation in the forums. Have fun with Linux.

Kind regards,

Eric

Moved: This thread is more suitable in Linux-General and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.

The first question is which technology of file sharing you're using: Samba (the Windows one), NFS, something different?

One thing that you need to know about Linux/Unix is that there is no concept of "drive letters." (How quaint.)

Sounds as if you want samba. Here are some links for "light reading":
