At the meeting today the main topic was the new Kernel NFS implementation,
but talk of a few other filesystems came up.  AFS and CODA both came up as
interesting alternatives to NFS.

The free implemtation of AFS that works under Linux is called Arla.  The
main concentration of arla is a good client implentation, but there's a
server and other AFS tools as well.  Here are some URLs for it:

And for RPMS: http://light-brigade.mit.edu/projects/athena/

CODA is originally based on AFS2, but has added more things in.  It can be
found at:
