Well, think about it from a different perspective: you have local
disks which are now almost always in the Gb range for new PCs, why use
NFS? It is much faster to have the system on the local disk. The
question is: how do I upgrade and maintain them in sync, even NFS
isn't perfect. Upgrading breaks machines, almost inevitably...
