Help getting pureftpd working

I guess NFS works great in an all unix environment with multiple machines sharing the same directory server. In that situation, its quite transparent. For those of us with simple home setups, no directory server, etc... well...maybe NFS is just too much to deal with. I'm probably just gonna stick with AFP and SMB for now, even though they have some over head and take longer to display folder contents.
A few months ago I was trying to connect my mac with my Media box (Popcorn Hour or Net Media Tank). That box definitely works better with NFS then SMB on the mac, I can't remember why now. I actually went back from Lion to Snow Leopard because NFS was broken on Lion in some way, I can't remember the details now.
In any case, it let me to believe that NFS would be better to use between UNIX environments, including OSX. But as these issues come to the surface I'm increasingly inclined to just use AFP and keep it simple.
