its own set of clients and servers; they are linked and managed by the
administrative servers.

information page.
- You may want to think about which shell
you will use on the cluster.
- There is a discussion of disk
issues, including home directories, disk space, and backups.

service determines who is allowed to log on to which Linux
machine.

applications server gives you access to common applications
like ROOT, CERNLIB, and GEANT.
