Differences samba with NFS:

    Samba

Pros: discoverable (NetBIOS); cross-platform (Linux+OSX+Windows); avoids sending passwords in the clear even as a stand-alone server with no PKI; easy to manage from the desktop and beats all the others hands-down for cross platform security and ease of use!

     NFS

Cons: only Linux really works as a client out of the box, and has no good desktop client tools for managing connections (traditionally oriented to sharing with systems, not with users); not discoverable
