The SUN network file system looks, from the advance descriptions,
like it will be a better solution for distributed news (and a lot
of other distributed things) than IBIS.  Of course, it *will*
require kernel mods.

(Note I'm referring to SUN's forthcoming network file system,
not their current network disk driver, though that also has its uses.)
