    Coda is at least mature enough for the MIT university network and
    the stock Linux kernel, if that means anything. Personally, I would
    recommend 'unison' as a way to avoid filesystem sharing altogether.
    (Unison requires a mirrored copy of the shared data on every client, and
    just keeps them all in sync).

    Also, AFS is an improved derivative of Coda which I think is still in
    a more experimental stage, but may be worth a try.
