It's AFS with extra nice bits.  Not ready for primetime, or any time for

There's a pile out there:

NFS: 'nuff said.

AFS: Has been mentioned.

Coda: AFS with bits, unstable.

GFS: Shows promise for the future, but isn't designed for LANs - it's more
SCSI-over-Fibre-Channel type systems...

Any others I've missed?
