If you have enough space on your client machines there are always the distributed filesystems: OpenAFS, CODA, Inter-Mezzo. They keep your filesystem on both ends of the mount. If you need something centralized like NFS you can use Samba instead of an NFS server and mount the homes via SMB. The better way would of course be to locate your special problem with NFS (did you try restricting NFS to version 2 or version 3?) rather than avoiding NFS completely. BTW: I remember that I had NFS lockups everytime I transferred huge files (several 100 Megabytes) between two machines with cheap network adaptors. Changing these adaptors to other (but also cheap) cards solved the problem.
