There's nothing that we recommend, and the only rackmount server
we've ever tested is no longer available. One of the rack mount models
available from Dell will probably work with the SIPB installer, but we
don't support it and make no guarantees.

This is sort of an underspecified question, since "locker" doesn't
specify the type of filesystem. I'll assume they mean "how can I access
AFS from a non-Athena Linux machine?". AFS clients are available for
non-Athena Redhat and Debian Linux machines; the user can download them
from http://www.openafs.org.
