Apologies to Pan for calling it Claws.
Anybody tell me why the news sig looks like a link to a file?

Anyway it's fine now, I put it on an SSD and it's good as gold. I am struggling to share anything on it. I have been watching YouTube all afternoon telling me do this, do that, edit this, create this user etc.
etc.
If I just want to share one folder is there an easy way to do it please?
Why is my sig so weird???
Any thoughts? I am happy to experiment :-)

It has an NVMe device on a PCIe card, Windows won't boot from it and
Googling says nothing will, it is just too old to do that, I may just try
it though - Ubuntu has been full of pleasant surprises so far!

I am managing to do everything I want to so far on my Ubuntu MATE laptop thanks to the help from this group.
I have a beautiful HP Z620 with Dual Xeon processors and 64 GB RAM that's crying out to be set up as a server so I am going to experiment.
I'm not sure whether to use an SSD for the OS and local data then a
couple of separate drives that I can mount as the "server" side of
things or whether to put the OS on an SSD and set the NVMe thingy as my personal home drive.
There are lots of suggestions online that
a shared drive should be nfs, problem is I don't know if that is a filing system, a protocol or what so I would appreciate a steer.

Not, repeat *not*, NFS, which stands, IMS, for Network File System, and
is Linux' traditional networking protocol. You're confusing it with
NTFS, NT File System, as in Windows NT, where the NT originally stood
for New Technology, the 'new' being a supposedly entirely 32-bit Windows
as opposed to the preceding 16-bit versions, but IIRC was criticised at
the time for being in fact something of a hybrid.
If you have a dual-boot system between Linux and Windows, then, yes, a
shared data drive is probably best formatted as NTFS, which can be read
and written by both OSs, whereas Linux formats cannot natively be read
by Windows.

An update.
My sig was set to text rather than file, now fixed, thanks for the
steer :-)
I have added a 2 TB SSD to the HP 620 and removed the Windows partition
and added a partition in Ubuntu. There are lots of suggestions online that
a shared drive should be nfs, problem is I don't know if that is a filing system, a protocol or what so I would appreciate a steer. There are loads
of articles online about sharing a mounted drive but they all assume you
have got past the basic action of formatting the drive!

Not a nfs that is a differing bag of worms
