Am running a couple with Mandrake... that is if you are inclined towards linux ONLY. Essentially the best NFS servers would be a solaris.

I would use SlackWare cause it's the cleanest and most Unix-like distribution, then Debian or Redhat/Caldera/Mandrake, for NFS. Caldera, if you're looking for a distribution for Novell compatibility(eDirectory rocks)...or, hmmm, I guess SlackWare, Debian, SuSE or just about anything for Samba.
NetBSD, OpenBSD or FreeBSD would work for NFS, but I think the TrustedBSD addon is the only way to get acls working for Samba. but, as the other guy said, Solaris is probably the best for NFS/NIS/NIS+ and it does Samba and Novell stuff, as well. it's available for download free for personal use....but Solaris X86 is sometimes a bit of a problem to get working correctly on PC hardware. Solaris performance on Sparc hardware is untouchable by Linux, though. |

I'm running an old P266 w/128 RAM with Red Hat 7.0 and it's doing Samba, Apache (one Intranet site), WINS, DHCP, and DNS. Haven't touched it in over a month.
Of course I'll chime in and concur that if you're looking for mission-critical, get Solaris on SPARC hardware. |
