Today's workstations often have a limited local disk space. Besides
putting the home of the workstation's owner onto the local disk it is
reasonable to place frequently used software packages on the disk,
too. This reduces network traffic and makes a workstation more
independent from file servers. Of course, the replicated software must
be kept consistent with the versions on the file servers. This should
be done by an automatic update mechanism.
