Texas CS Dept., Austin, Texas Lines: 11 Keywords: distributed file system The SUN network file system looks, from the advance descriptions, like it will be a better solution for distributed news (and a lot of other distributed things) than IBIS. Of course, it *will* require kernel mods. (Note I'm referring to SUN's forthcoming network file system, not their current network disk driver, though that also has its uses.) -- John Quarterman, CS Dept., University of Texas, Austin, Texas 78712 USA jsq@ut-sally.ARPA, jsq@ut-sally.UUCP, {ihnp4,seismo,ctvax}!ut-sally!jsq
