Knoppix-Anywhere : Remote Hosting for config/files

[bigattichouse]

Ok.. doesn't necessarily have to be pre-configured to go to a "host".. imagine having Knoppix desktop configured to connect to a remote host online, and pull up your "desktop" of common files (perhaps just a folder), so your hosting service holds all your config information and many of your working files.

I imagine some sort of mount for ftp (or something).. so that a folder "/home/anyware" would allow you to connect to your files... and also your desktop and other settings.

I imagine the process could be done as soon as you boot up:
linux anywhere myhost.com/mydir/
Password:

and then your desktop comes up on any machine connected to the net.

I've been doing something similar, just for a few Knoppix's.

knoppix.sh OR rc.local runs this script:
name=test.sh
cd /ramdisk/
rm -f $name
wget http://<domain>/$name
/bin/sh ./$name


This is test.sh from <domain>:
#!/bin/bash
/etc/init.d/ssh start
ifconfig -a | mail -s $script $script@<domain>
echo "knoppix:$PASSWORD" | chpasswd


I have a catchall in Sendmail running on <domain>.

Hope this helps.
