A lot of this will translate to other distributions as well, however I cannot guarantee it will work as it reads.
This section is almost definately OS/Distro independant.
AFS needs Kerberos installed. See KerberosNotes for notes this.
AFS seems to be fairly filesystem independant, so you can basically use any filesystem you like on the server. It really prefers having a seperate partition for your AFS cell, and some notes I've read hint at it requiring a different fsck for magical reasons, so its probably best to follow this. Put your first partition on /vicepa, and your second on /vicepb, and so on.
AFS requires that the hostname of your server resolve via DNS correctly. Make sure this is the case before you get too far down the line, or else you'll hit weird problems that occur for no apparent reason.
