This Perspective examines the emerging trend in the OEM market of divorcing the software layer from the hardware layer. Many operating systems are vying to be the OS of choice for thin servers. This document examines this issue in detail, particularly the differences between Linux and FreeBSD, the current de facto leaders in the market. <i>Note</i>: The article is no longer available online without registration.</p> </story> <story> <name>Nature Web Matters: Internet tomography</name> <url>http://helix.nature.com/webmatters/tomog/tomog.html</url> <site-name>Nature</site-name> <site-url>http://www.nature.com/</site-url> <date>7 January 1999</date> <author>K.C.
