  <dd><p>AFS stands for Andrew File System and was developed at <a
      href="http://www.cmu.edu">Carnegie Mellon University</a> in
      1984. It is a filing system designed to handle large distributed
      networks such as the one as Stanford. It allows you to access
      your account from virtually any machine on campus, in
      particular, the Sweet Hall unix workstations. The basic concept
      is allowing central "server" machines to provide remote access
      to files for multiple "client" machines.</p>

      <p>Like NFS (Network File System), its better established
      cousin, AFS allows you to control who accesses the information
      in your account, including your email and anything you may have
      saved in your account. However, AFS is vastly different in many
      ways as well and has many advantages and disadvantages over
      NFS.</p>

      <p>This set of documents will try to provide a bare bone
      documentary to using AFS at Stanford.</p>
