Cliff: I have some questions about the client packages. I am not sure why the roadmap or lustre users require separate client packages but stating the obvious some people must need separate client packages is that correct?
Otherwise the server packages contain the client anyhow correct? If the later are the client packages for linux somewhat redundant? When will the real client .exe for windows become available?
