I haven't netbooted any systems yet, but I've been using the experimental NFS server for a few months now. Originally with Kubuntu 9.10 NFSv3 clients, then with NFSv4 clients (Kubuntu, Arch Linux). So far, everything works well. For streaming video files, it works extremely well. :) Started with UDP mounts, switched to TCP mounts, without any issues. --=20 Freddie Cash fjwcash@gmail.com
