That's because NFS and NIS are antiquities left over from the days of mainframes. Distributed file systems and user information databases are designed for an environment of many workers and few machines, when the typical graphics workstation cost $50,000. These days, we argue whether to spend an extra $200 on a $500 computer. We have moved to a new paradigm: many workers with many more machines, with each machine having essentially mainframe levels of storage and computing power. In other words, instead of NFS, you should run git. James
