ok - we have a fairly functional (if small) AFS cell at home - mostly Linux, but the OSX client works fine and I tried the windas client and it works well too, although I have no use for it. I like AFS a lot and, increasingly, FreeBSD. I'll try the net/arla port tomorrow morning (didnt see it, will look again) and I'll also try and build openafs just for yucks; I use it already on Linux and OSX. I'll let you know how it works out.
