- I will soon be administrating three networked SPARC stations, and they
- appear to be running fine now without any maintainance. However, the
- three disks (.5 G, .5 G, and 1.2 G) contain siginficant amounts of
- redundant source and executable code, which I would like to streamline. I
- plan to put most /usr/local type code on one of the .5 G machines, and the
- users on the 1.2 G machine. The current setup is a mess of weird
- directories and links, so I think that rather than link some more, maybe I
- should start from scratch.
-
- I realize that this would take recompilation of quite a few packages, and
- I realize that you shouldn't try to fix what isn't broken. However, there
- are only three or four users total, and they are very forgiving, so I am
- going to give it a try.
-
- What should I read? What is a good directory organization for a
- three-workstation network?
-
- TIA,
- Dave
