16741da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  Coda is an advanced network file system, similar to NFS in that it
16751da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  enables you to mount file systems of a remote server and access them
16761da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  with regular Unix commands as if they were sitting on your hard
16771da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  disk.  Coda has several advantages over NFS: support for
16781da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  disconnected operation (e.g. for laptops), read/write server
16791da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  replication, security model for authentication and encryption,
16801da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  persistent client caches and write back caching.
16811da177e4SLinus Torvalds
16821da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  If you say Y here, your Linux box will be able to act as a Coda
16831da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  *client*.  You will need user level code as well, both for the
16841da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  client and server.  Servers are currently user level, i.e. they need
16851da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  no kernel support.  Please read
16861da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  <file:Documentation/filesystems/coda.txt> and check out the Coda
