I also prefer this for at least two reasons:
1) "Distributed" makes me think of a "distributed system" in the sense
"several permanently running servers communicating and
synchronizing together", like what happens in big clusters of
machines.
2) It translates better to french, because "distributed" is a
false-friend ;-) (the correct translation is "réparti", but we
usually say "distribué").
