| 7 | One benefit, especially in a large server 'farm' is that several servers |
| 8 | can share the same /usr by NFS mounting, read-only, the same partition |
| 9 | on all of the servers. This both ensures that all the servers are kept |
| 10 | in-step and greatly simplifies the upgrade process. |
