I'm in agreement with ONE variable as well.

BUT- what about the AFP stuff, to be feature/spec fair, I'd like this 
protocol to warrant a ppc box and run an Apple-derived OS and AFP 
implementation,  so this does mix things up a bit... (unless we run ALL 
the protocols on PPC/Darwin/OSX machines- yikes!)

I only bring this up because the threads that started this whole thing, 
dove madly into NFS vs. AFP...

At this moment, the list of protocols is over here:

Any ideas for resolution on this?

One BSD on each, *BSD to be decided by what hardware we end up using 
(or by drawing straws if it comes down to it).
