^ so I see that AFS isn't the answer to serving UNIX compatible
filesystems to my linux thinclient. In other words, I can't store all
types of unix files on an OpenAFS volume. I couldn't, for example use
OpenAFS to serve Linux ThinClients - re: ltsp.org ?

Correct. In particular, neither fifos (named pipes) nor device nodes can be stored in AFS.
