I think the idea is that the root filesystem NFS mounted by the client
will contain an essentially complete distribution for the client
architecture instead of a special mini-version that has to be
maintained separately.  That means anything you want to execute
locally would be available or at least installable via apt/yum.
You still have to deal with the issues of authentication and
getting the user's home directory mounted.
