Distributed File Systems

Just for the record, DFS isn't as easy as it seems, especially in an
environment with mixed clients.
I recall us wanting to add a use a whole bunch of space on a seperate
server and we realized that it was a non-transparent and non-trivial. We
were already sharing DEPT and wanted to DFS out a folder below that, and we
could not do this.
The idea is very cool, but the W2K release has some pretty big limitations.
