Looks like my home network user account system is going to use AFP provided by <a href="http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/">netatalk</a>, mostly so we can continue to use DropBox. AFS is still the likely candidate for everything else, including system accounts, media storage and other shared filesystem needs. I’m tempted to get a cheap VPS or two and put an AFS DB server, an AFS RO replica server and a kerberos slave out in the cloud that I can host web content easily, and have the filesystem be available when I’m not at home. That, however, is down the line from here – I need to get the home network setup and working before that happens. And I need to get the shed conversion done before I can really mess with building an AFS cell.

Too many projects, too little time.
