Some help that would be useful:

- What is the term for when I program is running locally but from a
shared filesystem resource? What would be the term if this was running
remotely but displayed on the thinclient?

- Will the Cygwin nfs-server be able to share a root filesystem? What
filesystem should I use to share the rootfs? I use ext2anywhere to
access ext3 partitions but I don't believe it works well enough for my
goal. I'm not sure permissions are handled correctly. I have a root
linux filesystem ready to share up but how?

Any suggestions?


What I'm planning:

Instead of introducing another computer into the house, or dual
booting I am off to attempt the following:

Basic ability:

 Semi-thin client capable of running common apps such as web browsing
and so forth without any outside `help` as it were.

Extented ability; full linux via remote filesystem:

 But should I turn on my Windows computer it will detect this and
mount a root filesystem shared up by nfs-server from CYGWIN; because I
believe samba won't handle /dev correctly. I need this then to chroot
into the shared root filesystem and log me in as a specified. I then
have a full linux environment to work with.
