Except for nfs, and given the non-production purpose, I agree.  Nfs,
especially if you are serving to non-linux clients, might be
problemmatic under Linux/Debian.  If I were to deploy Linux as an NFS
server, I'd do some reading up on how much of the recent nfs work is
actually in the stable kernels and how stable it is.
