I'm reading 1558_Linux+.pdf for the CompTIA certification. It describes NFS for file sharing in a network. Does (k)ubuntu not include this? What does it use for sharing between to linux/unix machines?

Re: where is NFS?
nfs is easy in my opinion. The one advantage I can see over samba is that it is invisible to yourself in terms of a user.
To save to an nfs share is just like saving to a normal folder on your computer, a program doesn't need to know the protocol.
Also I personally find it more reliable than samba.

And the major problem I have with NFS is that, if the server goes down (or you change wireless networks) anything that tries to read that part of the file tree hangs indefinitely, be it "ls" or Konqueror's directory tree view.
