I've been using Linux for a long time (Debian since Slink), but in all that time I've had no reason to share filesystems. At home I had one computer, and the web/mail/news servers I helped run, had no occasion to do so.
Now I have a tower and a laptop at home, and to share files it would be much easier to share a filesystem. I've never used NFS, but everything I read says it's highly insecure. OTOH, my network sits behind a Belkin router with only my own systems as nodes. The other obvious choice would be Samba, which would have advantages since I sometimes boot my laptop into Windows XP. I also hear it's more secure than NFS (?) but much harder to set up. For all I know there are other filesystem-sharing methods I'm not familiar with at all. I invite the list to make suggestions. Please do NOT copy me personally, I read this list.
