+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 servers. 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.
