  NFS under Linux and SunOS4 is pretty painful, but I've had good
results with it on a bunch of other platforms.  The NFS implementation
as a whole under Linux is just generally crappy, and SunOS4's
rpc.mountd is chock full o' bugs.  I've never had NFS under NetBSD
even so much as burp, and I use it every day.
