From the post your linux screenshot thread:

shanenin's reply to my mention that NFS was very slow to mount:

I would guess nfs being slow to mount is because portmap is not running on your client (ubuntu) machine. start the service then try mounting nfs

/etc/init.d/portmap start

then try mounting nfs.

At the time I was running an Ubuntu box (with an NFS share) and Debian Sid on my laptop, I didn't have the need to test that tip but since then have reinstalled Ubuntu breezy on the laptop and when trying the tip was surprised to find portmap wasn't even installed....Did an apt-get install portmap, worked like a charm...it now finds the share as fast as Sid did. :thumbsup:

The thing I find odd is that I don't recall ever installing portmap on my desktop (yet it is) and I had to manually install it on the laptop. :blink:
