[Linux-disciples] MP3s on one machine, Apache on another

I'm trying to move all my desktop-Linux stuff onto one
computer (call it Computer B), and leave the other machine
(Computer A) as a pure server. So I'd like to move all my
MP3s off Computer A onto Computer B, since most of the time
I'm just playing those MP3s on the desktop. But every now
and then people will download those MP3s from my website.

So: how would you guys recommend I do this? Should I move
all the MP3s to Computer B, then mount Computer B's MP3
directory as a Samba share on Computer A? What's the best
approach here? I'd prefer not to install Apache on both
machines and do some strange port-forwarding.

Thanks,
Steve
