In one interview, Darryl Strauss of Titanic fame was commenting that he had NFS
trouble with linux on the film production.  Something about an SGI crashing, 
and thus required restarting the NFS daemons on all the linux machines.  Sounds
icky to me.  Personally, I find NFS on any platform to be painfull (although 
I've only used it with NetBSD and Linux so far).
