Can you explain NFS a little more? I installed LAMP (Linux-Apache-Mysql-PHP) on our samba server for testing and made the htdocs directory where the web files sit a samba share, so I can mount that share on my workstation, and it's like a local directory for writing PHP/HTML files. If you can do this with NFS (and not need samba) that would really rock.
