>The Andrew File System (AFS) is a major part of the Athena
>Environment, providing file access to every user of the system. As
>Resnet expands connectivity to the dorm, it will be necessary to
>provide file service to users' home machines. This summer I have been
>porting AFS to Linux, a free Unix-like OS for Intel-based machines.
>
>This talk will center around the differences between the Linux kernel
>and the AFS hooks needed to tie into it. In particular, I plan to
>convey the major differences between Linux and other Operating Systems
>for which AFS exists, and maybe give a demonstration of Linux-AFS in
>action (code willing). I do not plan to be overly technical, however
>I do plan to cover some filesystem specifics.
>
>Hope to see you there! Feel free to pass this on to anyone I may have
>forgotten in the headers.
