FWIW I would concur.  I've got a whole bunch of Linux servers mounting
NFS from Solaris with no problem (including home partitions, which get
quite a hammering sometimes).  No problems with the rsize/wsize mantra
Ian mentions.

NFS is famous for being difficult and temperamental though.  A reliable
alternative would be most useful.
