Hi,

I use RedHat Linux since I were working on Fermilab/E871 at long
time ago.   Now I'm still using RH9 and Fedora.

This is the first time I try SL ... the distribution is similar with FC4/3
except OpenAFS which is new to me.

A simple question, after I installed SL4.2, at the firstboot stage ... the
OpenAFS configuration asking me to choose a cell, what does that
meant ?   I'm not working on Fermilab any more ... in fact, I'm
working on IC test industry now.   I believe I should not choose
the cell "fnal.gov" or others ... so I just ignore the OpenAFS configuration,
but what happen if I choose "fnal.gov" ?

After I tested SL4.2 ... if we think it's OK for our applications, a lot of
employees in my company will also install SL4.2.
I want to know if they choose "fnal.gov" for OpenAFS's cell ... will that
cause any trouble to Fermilab ?  we really don't want that happen ...

Please help to explain what does cell "fnal.gov" mean ... is that
option just for Fermilab's internal PC only ?


Thanks
KC
