NFS is a natural in Linux. We ran it for a few years, but eventually went
samba. Our reasonig was Samba is much faster and windows NFS clients are all
pretty much very exppensive and never really did justice to the NFS
filesystem.
As for AFS or OpenAFS, I'd really love to set one of these up someday and
wring it out, but there simply is no time for that stuff anymore. I can't
wait to see if anyone else here has better insight.
Cheers.
