+## Servers vs. Shared Libraries
+
+Servers and shared libraries serve similar purposes: They make some
+functionality usable by any process without code duplication. However, there
+are times when processes and developers should prefer one or the other.
+
+A server should be used when:
+
+- The function must somehow acquire a mutually exclusive lock on a resource.
+- The function should complete asynchronously.
+
+A shared library should be used when:
+
+- No resources involved need to be mutually exclusive.
+- The function is non-blocking and synchronous.
+
+Hence, servers are very important for things like disk drivers and file
+system drivers, where non-synchronized writes could cause data loss. It should
+also be noted that libraries *can*, and often will, call local procedures
+from servers. The functionality of calling a procedure will be handled by the
+standard library and shared across processes.
