[aclug-L] Re: Question about RPC support in the Linux Kernel.

[Tom Hull <thull@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Of course, Linux supports RPC (Remote Procedure Calls)! RPC is basically
part of NFS. I don't know of any specific documentation on it, other
than the usual man pages. I would expect generic doc to work on RPC.
It's common throughout the Unix world (and has some fascination for
the MS folks), so I'd expect it to work just like on other Unix systems.
