On the legacy systems, your login directory (for obscure technical reasons) will appear to be `/home/hawkid@UIOWA.EDU` while on the SPDR systems it will appear simply as `/home/hawkid`. Similarly, depending on context, AD user and groups may appear with `@iowa.uiowa.edu` appended when viewed from logins to the legacy systems, but without the extra suffix from SPDR logins.

__It is important to note__ that when logged onto the legacy systems, even with an AD account, you see the `/project` directory space from that perspective. Only fully __moved__ projects have a single unambiguous instance. If a project is not yet __moved__ then there are two versions, one on the legacy systems and one on the SPDR systems, perhaps with the legacy copy automatically syncing to the SPDR copy. (Only the Juno project remains to be moved.)
## Web Pages ## Web Pages
After a false start or two, we've decided to transfer __all__ of the static web pages to SPDR storage. The great advantage is that there is only one copy of all of this material now and there will be no confusion due to multiple writable copies. The disadvantage (if it is one) is that all web work will now need to be done on the new system, either via login to SPDR systems or appropriate AD logins on legacy systems. The entire `/space/html/` hierarchy, including all `/project/something/web/` links have been __moved__ to SPDR.
