NFS stands for Network File System, it allows you to mount filesystems
from other machines. Rather than me spend ages typing a description of
how it works (I wrote about it way back when I was Uni in a Distributed
Systems exam - ah, memories...), there's a lot of documentation at
http://nfs.sourceforge.net/
