Bug Description

Lots of people use NFS instead of samba for file mounts and there is no reason why this shouldn't be made as easy as possible to accomplish. Is it possible to add a graphical tool to join easier a NFS server?

It should be able to :

 - install nfs-common automatically
 - create a new default directory (i.e /media/nfs) or by a manual choice
 - select the IP address of the NFS server
 - submit previous datas to /etc/fstab
 - mount NFS file system, (like sudo mount -a)
 - (optionally) seek for all nfs servers on local network

I think that nautilus-connect-server would be a good place to add this stuff.
