Grid vs. Parallel vs. Distributed

Hello all,

I was wondering if someone could either explain or maybe point me to another article somewhere that explains the difference between:

distributed computing
grid computing
parallel computing

I see these terms thrown around a lot in server and cluster environments, but I'd like a solid explanation of what each technology does exactly and the pros/cons to each solution.

Thanks.

NAME
cppunit-config - script to get information about the installed version of cppunit SYNOPSIS
cppunit-config [--prefix[=DIR]] [--exec-prefix[=DIR]] [--version] [--libs] [--cflags] DESCRIPTION
cppunit-config is a tool that is used to configure to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link pro- grams that use cppunit. It is also used internally to the .m4 macros for GNU autoconf that are included with cppunit. OPTIONS
cppunit-config accepts the following options: --version Print the currently installed version of cppunit on the standard output. --libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a cppunit program. --cflags Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a cppunit program. --prefix Print the prefix with which cppunit was compiled. --prefix=PREFIX If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that cppunit was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option is also used for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix was not specified. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. --exec-prefix Print the exec-prefix with which cppunit was compiled. --exec-prefix=PREFIX If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation exec prefix that cppunit was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. COPYRIGHT
