I have a like 15 gigs of information on my linux server and i want to connect to it with the computer i use all the time (Both are redhat 9). I do have samba running on my server but would just like the mount the linux drive on my linux server to my linux box. I hope u can help.

Don't use samba, that's for Windows to Linux sharing. You need to use and setup NFS, Network File System. NFS is used to share directories and shares over a network between Linux or Unix machines.
