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.
