Microsoft Distributed File System
- Microsoft® Distributed File System for Microsoft Windows NT® Server (Dfs) enables distributed file system capabilities on Windows NT Server. A distributed file system provides a single tree structure for multiple shared volumes located on different servers on a network. A user accessing a volume on a Dfs tree does not need to know the name of the server where the volume is actually shared.

ported from an old system
ported/remade
I don't know when, but BlogText stopped working for the Windows 10 entry of the table of images (at the top).
I fiddled and fiddled, and the best I could do is have the first two (windows 3.1 and 95/98) break instead.
Related?: Due to a recent server upgrade from PHP 5 to PHP 7, BlogText broke. I made a code-change to have it work again.
The Windows 10 logo mysteriously works again.
cleaned up a little; pushed notes into their respective pages
dumped in a bunch more (un-checked) old links/notes.
Added a nice table of versions, with release dates.
ported some tips and tricks
