The impression I got was that they don't recommend it for 100s of clients. It sounds like the folks working on it use it extensively. The idea of caching documents on a laptop for use in disconnected mode and then having changes automatically reintegrated when the laptop is reconnected is really cool. And the performance can't be any worse than NFS. :-) I think I'll give it a whirl after I burn myself some potato CDs at the installfest. > Intermezzo supposedly is a lot leaner (and maybe safer) than coda. dunno > exactly what the status of it is, tho.
