Okay, heres what I'd like to have:

a 3G partition containg my BASE linux distro, and a client filebacked
distro such that if they make a change to /etc/somepkg.conf that file
gets saved in their linux.

That way any changes or updates I make to my BASE distro are propagated
to all, and yet their home dir and changes they make to files are kept
in their allocated space.  Would save greatly on spaced used for the O/S
too... I thought I read obout this a while back, but I can't find it
now.

Hopefully this makes sense.

Thanks,
