IIRC there still were some issues under Linux ABI on FreeBSD, namely
that directories on Coda could not be read beyond the first block/page
(opening files works even if their names are not on the first page in
the directory).
I guess the glitch is not in Coda but in the ABI layer.

If the distribution does not cripple the kernel, Coda will work fine.

Some distros' packages can be old or broken. (e.g. Gentoo ebuild has been
broken for a long time, placing Coda mount at some other place than /coda.
2008-07-12 I got a reply to my bug report from 2006-08-17 - note the years.
Now there is an experimental ebuild which adds a symlink /coda -> ....
so it _may_ work on Gentoo now)

The universal installer (http://www.aetey.se/index.php?Static&pg=CodaInstHowto)
is your friend on any distro.
