A distributed system is expected to be functional even if one or more of the machines stop operating or behave erratically or even if one or more links between the machines drop.

Interesting things get mentioned. This is actually a pretty interesting topic, I really need to get on looking into it sometime. Everything seems to be getting massively distributed nowadays because the web 2.0 world requires so much more power. See, this is why I like reading the blogs of my peers.
