from the 'server'
# cat /etc/exports
/home   (insecure,no_root_squash,rw)

then the 'client'
# a single line in /etc/fstab 
linuxserver.azapple.com:/home  /home/linuxserver  nfs  user  0  0

or you can do this manually...
mount -t nfs linuxserver.azapple.com:/home /home/linuxserver

files you may wish to check for options...
man mount
man exports

this is all as root. /home/linuxserver has to
exist...mkdir /home/linuxserver first before you can mount it there.
