The advantages of distributing client-servers hasn't been lost on the open 
source community either.  A very good editorial, "Client as Server: The New 
Model,"  was put up this weekend at 
http://www.freshmeat.net/news/2000/04/16/955943940.html  Starting with "the 
client is the server" Internet paradigm, it covers distributed computing 
project (e.g., seti@home), the Napster phenomenon and its major offspring: 
Gnutella and freenet.
