During my 8 years of Linux on and off usage I have tried more distros than I have chocolate bars. Each one of my previous encounters meant that I had to spend at least 2 days configuring before I have a desktop that I was somewhat comfortable with. With Ubuntu Feisty Fawn's latest test beta --for the first time ever-- this was not the case. I was up and running with all the niceties I wanted within 2 hours.

{ Ubuntu doesn't come with smb or nfs by default. Like Eugenia said, you open up the networking config tool and it prompts to install nfs and/or smb. }
That is what I did. I just went to the Kubuntu "System Settings"
http://www.kubuntu.org/docs/kquickguide/C/ch03s07.html
... then to "internet & network" and then "sharing"
http://www.kubuntu.org/docs/kquickguide/C/ch03s07.html#sect-sharing
... and clicked "administrator mode" ... and Ubuntu told me I needed NFS and Samba to be installed, and then after I allowed it to, Ubuntu automatically downloaded and installed them both for me.

Ubuntu doesn't come with smb or nfs by default. Like Eugenia said, you open up the networking config tool and it prompts to install nfs and/or smb. You don't "need to realise that portmap and nfs-common" are needed, unless I'm misreading something.
