 The Network Operating System
In a peer-to-peer network the operating system is installed on every networked computer; this enables any networked computer to provide resources and services to all other networked computers.
For example, each networked computer can allow other computers to access its files and use connected printers while it is in use as a workstation.
The network operating system software acts as the command center, enabling all of the network hardware and all other network software to function together as one cohesive, organized system.

 Chapter 6: Software
Unlike operating systems, such as DOS and Windows, that are designed for single users to control one computer, network operating systems (NOS) coordinate the activities of multiple computers across a network.
Peer-to-peer network operating systems allow users to share resources and files located on their computers and to access shared resources found on other computers.
In a peer-to-peer network, all computers are considered equal; they all have the same abilities to use the resources available on the network.

 Define Network File System - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: NFS
The Network File System (NFS) is a client/server application that lets a computer user view and optionally store and update file on a remote computer as though they were on the user's own computer.
Using NFS, the user or a system administrator can mount all or a portion of a file system (which is a portion of the hierarchical tree in any file directory and subdirectory, including the one you find on your PC or Mac).
The user's system needs to have an NFS client and the other computer needs the NFS server.

 Network Operating System
However, Peer-to-Peer networks tend to require a small number of computers to function well, do not have centralized management for control of and access to files and applications, provide minimal security, and can be difficult to maintain due to updating all copies of the NOS on each computer in the network.
Client/Server NOS execute on every computer in the network but not equally; one computer becomes the network server that centralizes and coordinates applications and functions enabling simultaneous access to shared resources by each of the other computers in the network.
However, client/server networks are typically more expensive than peer-to-peer networks, since one or more dedicated servers must be purchased, tend to require more maintenance, and can be considered more dependent since failure in the server(s) can cause the entire network to fail.
