   This has nothing to do with Debian-Edu, but I get the same symptoms on two 
machines in my LAN.  The NFS server is running Woody and the user-space NFS 
server and the client is running Sid.

   The client will freeze/lockup (no keyboard response or mouse movement, 
nothing) for 5-10 seconds, then come back to life for a second or two, then 
freeze again for 10 seconds or so, and then will act normally.  Since those 
two machines are not critical in what they're doing, I haven't worried about 
it but it sounds like what you're seeing.
