Are you familiar with X11? It is the 80's version of that
concept. There's some downsides though to this model; it is
pretty sensitive to network latency, especially.
You mentioned X11 to me before, when we talked about this idea
over email. I'm not very familiar with X11, but when I looked
at the X11 reference, it seems that it provides for a lot more
commands and complexity in the client than I have in mind. I
don't think X11 is well optimized, as I've found it laggy
simply when running xterm or small GUI apps on a local wifi
network with extremely low latency.
Have you seen this?
