I have been thinking about giving Linux a try, but I have heard that
it isn't a very good NFS server. What is the current state of the Linux NFS
server ?
Would FreeBSD, NetBSD, Unixware or Solaris X86 be better choices as
an NFS server ? I would be doing a lot of multi-Mbyte reads and writes to it.
How do these UNIX variants compare as far as NFS implementation is concerned ?
Please email responses. Thanks.
