Is it perhaps similar as the concept used by CoreOS as mentioned under Technical Details on their page,http://coreos.com/using-coreos/updates/

Thanks for the answer, i am now installing the thinclient package on a kvm virtual machine. One thing that I noticed on the wiki is this writing: X2Go TCE requires a local area network (LAN) that is at least switched at 100MB/s. The X2Go Thin Client chroot distribution is not designed to work over the internet or on low bandwidth connections This would mean that the pxe server can only be operated on LAN?
It is possible to PXE/TFTP/HTTP-boot over the internet, using gPXE or iPXE, but expect it to boot really slow.
Me, I'm using a minimal distro that can either run as a static image from CD/USB or as a self-updating (it queries the server for a newer release, downloads it in the background if there is one, then switches the next reboot to the downloaded copy) image on writable media.
Ccurrently tested and known to work: - ext2/3 (ext4 will most likely work too) - vfat - ntfs
