Virtual Thick Client

Hi Guys
I wanted to develop a kernel for my server. It will work in following way:

• Notepad++ process is running on client(local data) w/o actually being installed on client, its rather installed on server, so all libraries/files are on server
• So when client wants to run notepad++, it requests server for notepad++ process. The process will be running locally(client) whereas lib are on server, so I want to establish communication between process and libraries for running notepad++
• Finally client can just close connection, and the process is gone with no trace of notepad++ since it is not installed on client. So its like "use and throw service".

Please help me out, I am a newbie. Sorry for explaining same thing again and again.
Summarization:
->APP (lib etc..)installed on SERVER
->DATA present on CLIENT i.e local
->APP's PROCESS running on CLIENT

Hi,

what you are describing sounds a lot like serving /opt or /usr/local via NFS to multiple boxes. Can you confirm?
To do this you don't need "to develop a kernel". You can use the Linux kernel.

A quick search indicates that "notepad++" a windows only text editor... heads over to winehq. Looks like this program will work under wine.

Hi Evo,
Thnx for replying.
I used notepad++ as example, say i want to run an IDE (Eclipse) on client system w/o installing it on client rather than jus providing temp process to client .
For simplcity i will use a Linux Client.....

Yes its more like serving /opt via NFS .

Is it feasible to make an linux based server which as s/w installed that will b used by clients as temp process running on client.
The only diff between a cloud and my server will be that d processing will take @client rather than on server(as in cloud) even though the software is installed on server itself.
