Bug Description

I cannot find GUI to mount NFS share in Ubuntu 6.06 i386 desktop.

When I select "Browse network", I can see only samba shares on my LAN.
When I select "Connect to server", I can choose FTP, SSH, samba, etc but no support for NFS.

Is this feature missing by design? I know only about option to export share as NFS in shared folders option. (there is small problem again when you install only samba sharing at the beginning, there is no future option to add NFS later)

I know, I can edit /etc/fstab or run "mount from terminal"... I know something about apt-get install too... This report is about Ubuntu GUI, not about command line tools.

Closing on Baltix, as I suppose it was an error.

Confimed, as it seems clear, but I don't know the answer.

I can confirme this bug/missing feature.

Also I don't know the status of gui support for nfs in later ubuntu releases, i suggest setting the severity to high since this maybe an criticial cirteria for buisness enviroments and an major problem for usability.
