nfs howto - are debian docs dated?



Searching with `site:debian.org' in google with keywords `how' and
`nfs'.  I don't really see what looks like a full HOWTO walk thru.

The wiki site (wiki.debian.org/NFS) seems to just point off to ancient
HOWTOs elsewhere.

Changing my search terms by dropping the `site:' bit and using the
keyword debian like `debian how nfs'  I find  a bewildering array of
sites, with no real way to guess which are good overall.

Maybe someone can just point me to known or commonly accepted guidance
for someone just setting up nfs with years and years between now and
the last time using nfs.

One site that appeared somewhat promising was:
  www.howtoforge.com/nfs-server-and-client-debian-etch

Any input about that site would be extra welcome.

One point that might help possible responders is that the main clients
will be solaris off shoots like Openindiana (b151a) and oracle-solaris
11.

Actually both sides will need to be both NFS server and client.  I
need to have the solaris machines serving the zfs file system as work
area for lan machines across the home lan, and 2 main directories
served by the debian host, to be generally available across the lan
(those same directories are also served via samba to windows OS's on
the lan).

It is stuff that I don't want to take up room on the solaris hosts
with but want to be generally (and quickly) available all across the
home lan.

On one site (the one cited above) I noticed said something about
having to change kernels.  I'm currently running wheezy with
3.0.0-686-pae. Will that need to be changed?
