One collection, multiple computers

[Thomas Lübking]

- Use an external mysql database (on a server) and atach to it from all 
(amarok) clients?
- If that's no option you could also just mountin the database & music 
directories via nfs from each client.

Every client which will be guaranteed to frame the rruntime of the other 
clients is obviously suitable as server.

Cheers,
Thomas
