A virtual distributed file system for executing applications from a remote location comprises an application server for remotely storing an original copy of the applications, and a client computing device which contains an operating system for executing the applications, a communications interface configured for communicating with the application server, a virtual file system mapped to a remote file system located on the application server, and a ring buffer cache for storing the applications on the computing device. If the modules are not found locally, the modules are transferred from the application server. The computing device is from a group consisting of a thin client, personal computer, laptop or PDA. The applications are segmented into compressed modules when transferred. The ring buffer is pre-seeded with compressed modules. The computing device is usable online or offline a network. A movable profile is accessible by a user from a plurality of computing devices.
