I would agree with the NFS for the mounting system for the server share.
I don't know how feasible it would be for a complete *nix office, as a
lot of normal users are not familiar with linux or unix. But you could
setup a decent size drive and mount just that drive as /share/ in fstab
then have nfs mount that drive on all leaf systems with r/w capability.
That is just the only idea I can come up with at this time.
