+OpenAFS is a caching, distributed, network-based filesystem for securely and
+efficiently sharing files over a private network or over the internet.  OpenAFS
+stores files on file server machines. OpenAFS clients read and write data to
+the file servers. Data is cached locally by clients, making subsequent reads
+very fast.  File servers automatically notify clients when data is
+changed, keeping data in sync.  OpenAFS clients integrate with the client
+operating system to create a seamless network file system.  Client side support
+is provided for wide-range of operating systems, including Windows, MacOS,
+Solaris, and Linux.
