+Over the years, AFS has developed a rich and interesting history. This page is an attempt to document some of that history for posterity. For starters, here is a mostly incomplete timeline of important events in the history of AFS:

+[Boxed Penguin](http://www.boxedpenguin.com/) is a complete [[InstantInfrastructure]] system that allows one to start from an empty PC and bring up a small but scalable infrastructure server with a minimum of effort (installing Debian and then layering on a meta-package that configures and installs the rest.) Likewise it simplifies installing generic workstation-style clients.
+
+Commercial support for Boxed Penguin is available from [Mekinok, Inc.](http://www.mekinok.com/), community support is available through the mailing lists on the Boxed Penguin website.
-Code is a version of AFS that branched before its development moved to Transarc. One of its claims to fame is that it supports [[DisconnectedOperation]]. The project home page is <http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/>.

+[[AFS]] is a distributed network filesystem originially developed as part of the [[AndrewProject]] at [[CarnegieMellonUniversity]] in the mid 1980's. It provides a number of useful features over traditional network filesystems, including:
+
+- [[AccessControlLists]]
+- [[UserManagedGroups]]
+- [[KerberosAuthentication]]
+- [[TransparentVolumeMoves]]
+- [[VolumeReplication]]
+
+Today there are three major implementations of the AFS3 protocol:
+
+- [[IBM/AFS]]
+- [[OpenAFS]]
+- [[ArlaAFS]]
+
+Elsewhere on this site are a guide to [[GettingStarted]] with [[AFS]], some [[AncientHistory]], and a variety of AFS3 [[ProtocolInfo]].
