Sure. But would you trust this to work when you are out somewhere in a hotel, travelling? That's what the eeepc is for, anyway.
That you for - NOW - mentioning that :-)
Plus, of course, running a server that I can access from outside means making sure it's sufficiently secure, hence it will add to the hassle.
Since all this is doing is sending out a kernel, that's not a big issue. With the kernel running you can now access other things like the data on your USB. In fact you can set up that kernel so that it sees the /etc (etc) on the USB. That would jsut be a boot option in one o the menu stages, similar to what I use to specify a NFS, As for other security issues, any or all of the stages of the Syslinux menu can be password protected - which you would have seen if you read the docs. I've no doubt other authentication can be used, but that's as far as I've gone with it. Oh, wait! Part of the mechanism is that it can tie in to the MAC address of the requesting device. That's at the DNS level and at the menu level. -- Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.
