This guide contains a reference overview of the services contained in the Globus Toolkit. It can be used as an installation guide, but if you are just interested in starting to use the toolkit, we recommend the Quickstart Guide instead. It contains links back into this document as appropriate if you want more details on a particular section.

Each component includes online reference material, which this guide sometimes links to. The master list of documentation is here. It includes User's Guides and Developer's Guides. This document is just the guide to administration.
