[BozemanLUG] I should be punished...

[Jeff Sharkey]

I've used an NFS homedir setup on my home network for the past few
years, and it has worked very well.  The only downside is that network
issues cause X to seize up badly, making it a poor choice over
wireless.

Also, Firefox in particular doesn't like sharing .mozilla between
multiple active sessions.
