While looking for something completely different I came across this
discussion on large-scale (2500!!) desktop Linux rollout.   FWIW...

http://slashdot.org/askslashdot/00/06/27/1934226.shtml

The contributors seem to be making much the same suggestions as have been
seen already in this thread but it may serve to increase the range of
options.   For instance there is talk of AFS and Coda as alternates to
NFS.   Disclaimer... I have not read the whole thing :-)

Cheers,
Denis
