I was thinking of using it's replication features to distribute video files to our servers in different parts of the country. Doesn't look ready for production use though, so until it is I've got some sweet rsync action goin on.

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.
