Sharing programs on my home network?

Hey /g/, I have something to ask. Is it possible for me to, let's say, share my Firefox folder on the network, and then run the Firefox executable on that folder on another computer on my network?

Yes. But it'll be really slow because of Windows Failsharing.

you could just share the profile instead and have each installation of firefox on each pc use the same bookmarks history etc etc.

ssh -Y 192.168.0.2 /usr/bin/firefox

X FORWARDING MOTHERFUCKER! DO YOU USE IT?!

assert(true == that)

Windows' SMB is a piece of shit. Works like ass, you see each other whenever it feels like it, takes ages to refresh, is amusingly slow for the simplest of things to the point you wonder how could Microsoft be this creative to accumulate so many times your real network latency to just open a fucking file), etc.

And yet, all other file sharing solutions are flawed too. FTP: sucky protocol with port issue, clumsy file operations, crappy text-based directory lists, lacks desirable filesystem operations. NFS: unreliable. WebDav: Lack of decent clients, desirable operations, runs on HTTP, and WTF is shit XML doing here.

It's funny how you have half a dozen good protocols to share a file with somebody you don't know nor speak the same language, and no good protocol to share a file with somebody you know.
