Abstract
This paper presents some of the techniques adopted in the Computer Science Department at
the University of Edinburgh for providing a consistent user environment across a large
network of heterogeneous workstations. These include system management techniques that
allow non-privileged users to maintain and install network-wide application packages, as well
as software and techniques for automatically distributing and replicating program binaries
across the network.
