I know that MIT and Iowa State both use it, for Projects Athena and 
Vincent, respectively.

AFS can effectively handle much larger groups of clients than NFS.
I believe it is also much more secure (the above use it with Kerberos).

UFS is the disk file system, ratehr than the distributed file
system. A UFS directory could be shared with either NFS or AFS.
