Lar is correct that NFS originated with Sun.  Novell offers a package 
called NetWare NFS, which is an NFS implementation for NetWare servers; 
it also includes LPR-compatible printing support.  NetWare NFS, however, 
is optional at (substantial) extra cost, so it's not an appealing way to 
bring just one or two Linux systems into a NetWare environment.
The Linux-based products I mentioned in my previous response are probably 
a better bet for that use.
