1.2 The Network Domain
If you are working with a GNUstep system at home, the `Network' folder
is probably empty, as it is of small use on stand alone systems. However,
the Network domain is of great use in networked, corporate environments.
Its main purpose is to hold files exported from a central server in your
network or from other workstations. Most times, remote directories
containing applictations or general data used by several workstations
in the network are mounted using the Network File System (NFS). Such
usage gives administrators the possibility of providing application
or resources to a vast number of workstations while only having to
manage the software in one place. This is especially useful when
workstations are used by several users with different tasks and requirements.
