http://shopping.msn.com ==> Master Slave Network ?? - Slave trading ??

This terminology appears to be 'rampant' in proper Linux documents too.  A
quick search of those I have at hand turned up 30+ examples, e.g.,

>
>  Many coarse-grained applications can be implemented in a master/slave
>framework, where one
>  process (usually the first process), the master process, doles out work
>to all of the other processes,
>  called slaves. A single process or thread is usually associated with one
>real physical processor, but this
>  is not a requirement.
