Removed text
A few old points I removed from "Advantages" because they didn't seem to fit:
Location transparency
Hardware independence
Distributed DBMS
Operating system independence
Network independence
Replicated transparency
Distributed transaction management
Some of these are features instead of advantages (like DTM). Distributed DBMS might be a bit pointless unless explained. Some of these might be added again with explanations.
