We're currently talking to one company about their software, but it
isn't available for Linux yet (and I can't say who until the deal is
a yay or a nay).
As for AFS, in a word, *NO*. There is an AFS client available for
Linux, but no server (nor is it likely to happen). AFS is major overkill
for this kind of thing, anyway (IMHO). Is there anything else? Yes
and no...you could do rsh and incremental tar.
I can't think of anything else off the top of my head...anyone else?
