I have a 1tb server setup (finally!) and, as several Windows clients will be using it, I've installed Samba and it is working fine. But for my Linux clients, should I install NFS on the server? Or just install a samba client on the Linux boxes? Would my Linux boxes need an NFS install too? Which is easier/faster/better?

maybe I'm not sure what you're looking for exactly, but if it's a linux server, can't you just use ssh/sftp/sshfs for the linux clients using it?

I'm just looking for a spot to store my movies, music and data files, and to back up to it. So I want to mount it as a network disk. And I was wondering if, in that usage scenario, adding NFS to the server and my Linux boxes was a noticeably good idea, esp. given that they all already have Samba installed to talk to the Windows boxes.

Server setups should be as simple as possible IMO, so just go with samba for all clients.

I have both NFS and samba on my server to accommodate for both OSs.
Also, I noticed in Windows 7 there is an option to enable support for NFS. I've never used it but I just thought I'd mention it.
