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.
