	Any changes made to the user profile can be performed and tested on any workstation before uploading to the [[Groovix Server]]. All changes are saved to <font class="code">/var/lib/pac/home/groovixtemplateuser.cpio</font> and are local to that workstation only. Only when this updated user profile has been uploaded to the Groovix server and included in the update process are changes potentially global; each workstation will still need to run the [[Groovix NetCustomization]] update process to apply these new changes.
