Have an NFS server installed on the Linux machine.  Export its
filesystem by putting an appropriate line in /etc/exports, like

/home/sf                unixhost.example.com(rw,root_squash,sync)

Read the exports(5) manpage for what the options are and do.

Then on the Unix box, add a line to /etc/fstab, like

/remote/linux linuxbox.example.com:/home/sf     nfs     defaults        0       0

Then just do a "mount /remote/linux" on the Unix box.
