I have, with the a recent snapshot. It needs a few more months worth of polishing, even the installation process itself is a bit complicated. I wasn't able to get it working, though I only spent an evening on it.

From that point of view, OpenAFS has come a long way in a short amount of time. -T -- "I don't believe in art. I believe in artists." - Marcel Duchamp
