I did this way frequently.  However there is a drawback.  In case
necessary following the guide on a document, either I have to save it
on the server first and start the server reading it OR to run a
workstation side by side reading the document.  In the former case, if
the document is in .html or .pdf format I still need a web browser and
X.  I can print them as .ps files but the resultant documents are not
easy to read.

I ran several text broswers before such as elinks, etc.  It is not easy
to natvigate.  Besides the website will complain requesting me to ran a
browser with java enabled, etc.  So finally I was compelled to install
a web browser.
