Which one of the following statements most accurately describes a
difference between a workstation and a fileserver?


a) Only fileservers can provide resources to other network users.

b) File servers are usually specially built and tuned to efficiently
provide file, print, and other services to a large number of users
concurrently.

c) Fileservers can share printers so that other network users can print
to them, workstations cannot.

d) Unlike a workstation, no one can logon to a file server directly -
it can only be accessed via a networked PC.

Sorry, we do not answer homework questions. Please
read your book!

It's really not homework, it's a test I got 19 out of 25 in. I'm
trying to determine which questions I got wrong. I'd love to explain
everything fully, but it just gets boring. I have no "book" to consult,
so that's a bit of a problem. I suspect the answer to that question is
"b". A and C are obviously wrong. But I'm a little confused by D...
I'd go with b, but I'd like to be sure, and if somebody can point me
towards some reading material, that'd be great.

Oh, D is obviously wrong.. What was I thinking...

GOOGLE is your friend, grasshopper.
"Give a man a fish and he is fed for a day; but teach him how to fish, and
he is fed for a lifetime." Use Google, grasshopper.

Stalking is a Crime
Stalking charges are serious and
almost every state now has a strict stalking law.
