 Then ''root@alito:/etc/network# ../init.d/networking restart'' (and get kicked off).
+===== Samba for shared folders =====

+==== Server/Host ====
+To reenable symlinks despite the [[https://odzangba.wordpress.com/2011/01/02/fix-samba-not-following-symlinks-error/|security implications]], edit /etc/samba/smb.conf
+  follow symlinks = yes

+And add the user if you're not using an existing one
+  smbpasswd -a slack
+===== Guest Additions (for shared folders) -- DON'T DO THIS, IT'S JUST A TOY =====
+No longer downloaded as an .iso, download, open with VirtualBox and they are added to the controller.  They can be installed to a specific machine firstly by inserting the imaginary iso in the imaginary drive (Devices --> Insert ISO into drive...) and then by running the executable in '/media/cdrom0' as root.
+If you get
+    root@alito:/media/cdrom0# ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
+    bash: ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run: Permission denied
+It's probably a [[http://blog.ackx.net/virtualbox-guest-additions-common-errors.html|fstab problem]].  In /etc/fstab, change this:
+    /dev/sr0        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
+To this:
+    /dev/sr0        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,exec     0       0
+and remount.  You will also need to install "gcc, make, the header files for your Linux kernel and possibly perl".
+    apt-get install gcc make linux-headers-$(uname -r) perl
+Then sort permissions
+  adduser vboxsf slack
+and log out and in again.  Rm /home/slack and ln it to ''/media/sf_whatever''.
+===== NFS -- DON'T DO THIS, NFS AND DEBIAN HAVE BECOME A COMPLETE SHITSHOW =====
+Install ''nfs-common nfs-kernel-server portmap''.
+==== Server ====
+Config in ''/etc/exports''
+  /home/slack/alito  10.0.0.14(rw,subtree_check)
+Restart with ''root@alan:/etc# init.d/nfs-kernel-server reload''
+==== Client ====
+Config in ''/etc/fstab''
+  alan:/home/slack/alito  /home/slack  nfs  rw,user,auto  0  0
