John Cowan:
Does this depend heavily on OS X, or should it work on
Linux and BSD as well?
Warren Krun Toomey:
No idea. I had a brief look at some of the code on the web site and it seems
relatively neutral, but I have not downloaded it yet. I've sent an e-mail
with the same question to Amit.

I keep meaning to poke about at FUSE, since it plays more or
less the role of the file-server-implementation library setup
I wrote for my own purposes 20 years ago (in the context of a
UNIX variant that cannot yet be distributed freely).
But I'd be surprised if the stuff was terribly MacOS X dependent.
Certainly FUSE exists in Linux, and the libraries and requisite
kernel module are even included in some Linux distributions
(notably recent editions of Fedora), because sshfs is built atop
FUSE.
