The problem with both Ubuntu and Kubuntu is that I can see no simple gui<br>
way of setting up NFS. There doesn't seem to be a tool to identify the<br>
nfs servers on the network and to mount them to files on the main PC.<br>
That and no way of using my scanner.<br>
Until these things are solved simply I think I will be giving ubuntu and<br>
kubuntu a miss.<br>

As for NFS and ubuntu you probably need to bear in mind that most ubuntu users will probably be using samba for their network shares - this is very much built into ubuntu. You just right click a folder select share folder and set permissions. If you haven't already got samba installed then ubuntu will prompt you to install it. You can then browse network shares via the places menu. This is a process very similar to another popular operating system. </div>
