17211da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it
17221da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them
17231da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard

17261da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  replication, security model for authentication and encryption,
