It is a FUSE filesystem, where we can install software once and have it distributed to a practically unlimited number of clients thanks to a simple and performant cache system.
The filesystem is called CernVM-FileSystem, CVMFS for short.[1]
I maintain a public instance of it under https://packages.redbeardlab.com
It contains "common" software, like standard unix tools, compilers, webservers, etc...
I wrote a bit about it:
