\section{General information}
Our network uses \gls{AD}. By using \gls{AD} with \gls{MS} bases clients that
have been installed using a \gls{glos:RespF} from \gls{CD}, we can expect a 
high level of standardization.

\section{Some Greek symbols}
If you calculate with \gls{symb:Pi} you always get an irrational result, because 
\gls{symb:Pi} itself is irrational. As a matter of fact, there are \gls{symb:Phi} 
and \gls{symb:Lambda}, too.
