My lab uses openafs.  The sysadmins support Debian as the main
unix-like OS.  'course, Debian has its issues... I currently run
Debian at home so that I can use openafs to directly access my files.
My educated guess is that I'd be much happier running Ubuntu so long
as I can get all of the necessary kerberos/openafs packages.

Are those kerberos/openafs packages in Universe simply a snapshot of
Debian Sid?  My lab sysadmins publish compiled openafs modules
(.deb's).  Would it be reasonable to expect that they would "just
work" in Ubuntu? (assuming I'm using the correct kernel version)

Sounds like getting it to work may be easier than I thought, so I'll
give it a try and report back.

Yes.  Thanks for the info.
