NFS client on Ubuntu?

On my SuSE server, I use an NFS server to export a dozen folders for use by 
other computers here - e.g., movies, music, calendars, downloads, torrents, 
and so on.  My SuSE workstation and laptops have NFS clients that mount those 
folders for local use.

I haven't found any equivalent on the Ubuntu systems I've been experimenting 
with.  I can access those remote folders using ftp:// or smb:// (they're 
exported using Samba also), but they're not visible in some applications where 
I'd like to use them.  For example, I can't select my macros folder for use in 
Firefox with dejaclick.

Is there a real NFS client available for Ubuntu that I just haven't found yet?  
Something that will let me mount those folders in the file system where they 
can be found by any application?

Thanks,
