ISSUE:

Location Independence

You will notice that NetWare Lite resources are location independent. 

Suppose you create a network directory named ALL_APPS on a server
named DEPT_SERVER.  Server DEPT_SERVER is a 8 MHz 286 machine with a
40 MB hard disk.  All clients map drives to ALL_APPS and use it every
day.  Now suppose you buy a 50 MHz 486 machine with a 1 GB disk drive
on it.  You want to move the network directory ALL_APPS to this new
machine.  You install this new machine, and call it HOT_SERVER.  You
can then create a new network directory on this new server and call
it ALL_APPS (same name as before).  You then copy the files from
DEPT_SERVER to HOT_SERVER.  ALL_APPS can now be removed from
DEPT_SERVER.  All your clients will now use ALL_APPS from HOT_SERVER
and nothing need be changed from the  client's perspective.  The
clients do not need to know that the location of the network
directory ALL_APPS has moved.  This same principle applies to network
printers
