We are in the processes of planning for the installation of a large file
server that will be be running AFS, and was wondering about using AFS on
the Cray, SGI, Sun, VAX, IBM, Stardent, and other computers.  

Are there particular headaches that can be avoided by knowing of past mistakes?  
Is there public domain versions of the software available, or should we tell 
management to come up with the money to buy it.  

Are there third party vendors, and if so who are they?

Any parting shots...er...comments?

Thanks & B Cing U

Buck
