Given how incredibly inexpensive hard drives are, why are you doing this? Are you using legacy hardware with tight disk space, or are you concerned about performing upgrades to each software package, or are you concerned about central configuration? That determines the appropriate answer. You can do it by setting up NFS to allow the server host to export the filesystem(s) containing the applications and their libraries. Then set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the appropriate library directories on the remote hosts. Note that many programs look for local configuration files. If you're going to go this route, you'll either still have to be dependent upon some local state and configuration or you'll have to do almost everything over the network, losing performance. Understanding your objectives here would help. --steve augart "Andrew M." wrote:
Can you use Linux as an application server to store apps on one computer and run them over a network on another? I know in Win&*$#, you always get errors on missing .dlls because they are not locally installed. Is this the same in linux? If not, what do I need to set one up.
Thanx.
