The Linux NFS client has supported NFS locking for years (since 2.2 or so).

The Linux kernel NFS server also supports NFS locking, and has been
really stable since kernel 2.4.something (also years).

Now if you're running Linux 2.0 with the user level NFS server,
then yes, NFS is flakey. But this is the 21st century you know ;)
