you can run p9p (http://swtch.com/plan9port) on linux which
gives you acme and a rio-like window manager.   i did for some
time before switching to plan 9.

if you do run plan 9, you do not need to run a seperate fileserver.
you can set up a cpu/auth/file server and run drawterm on linux
instead of having a terminal.
