+             OpenAFS, and our custom services manager <a

+             Domtool, you can configure the behavior of your domains
+             and sites in shared daemons without needing to request
+             anything from a superuser. Since we provide a generic
+             Debian GNU/Linux shell, you can write and run your own
+             daemons in whatever programming language you fancy.</p>

-                   acquire tokens locally, and access your HCoop
-                   storage as if it were local disk on every major
