[SlugLUG] Best remote FS for windows/linux/mac?

[Peter Belew]

And of course Windows provides a free client, while one may
have to buy an NFS client for Windows. I haven't had any
reason to go that route recently, so I don't know if there
are free Windows NFS clients.

Between *nix systems, though, possibly nfs handles *nix
permissions better?
