The FOSS solutions right now are pretty lacking though.. What are you after? Sharing the content, or sharing the space? If the latter, you could do something like <a href="http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20030613121738812" rel="nofollow">this</a> You could use MacDisk or MacDrive, etc; but those are licensed products, and generally the license will prevent you from moving from machine to machine with any ease.
