16661da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) is a protocol that runs over IPX and is
16671da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  used by Novell NetWare clients to talk to file servers.  It is to
16681da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  IPX what NFS is to TCP/IP, if that helps.  Saying Y here allows you
16691da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  to mount NetWare file server volumes and to access them just like
16701da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  any other Unix directory.  For details, please read the file
16711da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  <file:Documentation/filesystems/ncpfs.txt> in the kernel source and
16721da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  the IPX-HOWTO from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

16891da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it
16901da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them
16911da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard
16921da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  disk.  Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for
16931da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server
16941da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  replication, security model for authentication and encryption,
16951da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  persistent client caches and write back caching.
16961da177e4SLinus Torvalds
16971da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda

16991da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  client and server.  Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need
17001da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  no kernel support.  Please read
