I assume that every UN*X administrator worth his/her salt have been taught that
NFS is a absolute NO-NO on the Internet (or at least should be avoided at all
cost :).
How does AFS stand in all this? I know it needs kerberos, but that's about all I
know simply because AFS haven't been (easily?) available to Linux.. Is it now?
Is there any other network FS that is any good? And what are the pro/cons with
them?
