Previously the server used  Fedora Core 3. I think like you that it is an interaction
between client and server. For example we have a client machine running Debian
Unstable which had NFS problems interacting FC3 server and still has with FC5
server. But i don't have any more with Fbsd-6.1. As to the problem of the
machine freezing when the server freezes i have always seen that, both under
Linux and FreeBSD, nothing new. The freeze seems to me less severe now, that
is i have been able to log in root with the server down. The load on the
server is rather big, we are talking around 100 machines having their home
directories on the server.
