hey everyone, im new to the forum and have a quick question. im a little confused on what a distribution folder is for. I always thought that after u make distribution folder, u put all ur apps in at (along with windows installation of course) and it can be installed over the network that way (since its a shared drive). while researching it a little it seems that thats not the case. so basically id like to know, what is a distribution folder really used for? thanks
