The server has two internal hard drives. One is an IDE and one is a

What I wanted to do is like I did on my laptop, which is mount the bare
drive, which in this case would be the ide as the sata has windows
installed on it.
Would I still need to have a 64bit environment setup on my laptop to
support running jhalfs on a native 64bit remote machine?
I'm sure you know this already, but you can perfectly well install a
32-bit system on the machine. For example, I myself have a dual-core
64-bit Athlone, and run 32-bit LFS (and 64-bit OpenSUSE 13.1). Is there
any particular reason it has to be 64-bit? I have built 32-bit partly in
order to run one or two of my favourite Windows programs (e.g. Irfan
View) under Wine - perhaps your landlord would like to do the same.
I'd also echo the comments about leaving your landlord with an LFS
system, especially from the point of view of security upgrades. It's
just so much easier with a distribution like OpenSUSE or Debian or
whatever to upgrade pretty much automatically when something like
Bashbug or Heartbleed comes along - is your landlord going to be able to
do that? Also, the system will need that much more attention to security
because it is being used by multiple people than a stand-alone desktop
system.
