In my case, I use whatever the default user/group numbering scheme is on
a distro, and that means I have to do "major tinkering" to get my
partitions like /home to work via nfs if I try another distro. Some
distros start the user numbering at 100, others at 1000, and unless I
remember to hard code the user number when creating a new user, it's a
royal pain to get nfs to work.
