Hey gang,

I found this today when reading about a small slackware based distro,
Slax (http://www.slax.org).  It is sshfs, which sits ontop of fuse
(http://fuse.sourceforge.net/) and allows you to use a SSH remote
connection just like a filesystem.  Its super easy to use if you
already have a ssh server setup.  Since it uses a ssh connection like
a file system, you can mount it and use any programs on it just like
you would anyother (cd, cp, mv, gnome, etc).

its fast too!
