I use both here: 'autofs' for managing my workstation group (ie, /home and other goodies like /usr/local, /scratch and /opt/local), and 'amd' for browsing on general mount points of nfs-served file systems in the school. Even though 'amd' can therefore be used to browse about in the local workstation group as well, no one here really seems to find it useful, since you need to know the name of the server doing the serving. -- denice.deatrich @ epfl.ch, DSC / LTHC-LTHI, E.P.F.L.
