I wouldn't recommend this at all. Think of the bandwidth! Maybe what you're looking more for is something like nx/freenx, though it doesn't provide a complete OS environment (need to use something else to actually boot the clients, such as a USB stick or some such). That would probably be your better bet, and just connect via nx to the app server in the "cloud" (damn I hate that term).
