Or use AFS for the files and all files are available on all machines with a
OpenAFS Client on it.
thats the way I do it. work with hugin on my athlon 2000 and let enblend run on
Dual Xeon with 4 gig RAM. Enblend take up to 800 MB while running, but hey, its
OK :-)
But thats some month ago, haven't tested new versions.
