Well you'll have to excuse my ignorance, but I'm still not entirely sure what exactly you mean by schematics. Sorry. Anyway, all I'm trying to say is that all you can do with Latex from a demonstration point of view is display your schematics tex source file, type "latex schematics.tex" and then see an output message telling you a dvi file has been produced. You won't actually be able to *view* the dvi/ps file.
You could produce a pdf and then transfer it to the windows machine for viewing.

I just tested Knoppix and had no problem displaying any X apps on my Knoppix booted machine from my RedHat desktop. Just ssh into the RedHat machine and type the name of the X app you want to run. Now when I ran OpenOffice in this manner the Knoppix CD must just have minimal fonts because Office did not show the names on the menus etc.
However, I also loaded up SuSe in a VMware session and did the same thing. When you connect to the server via ssh in SuSe it will not auto forward X11 requests. This means you must either supply the "-X" parameter in the ssh command line or manually set your DISPLAY variable manually on the remote machine and do an "xhost +" on the local machine before trying to start an X app. From SuSe OpenOffice started fine and all menus were present. So you might also think about using the SuSe Live CD if you want to try this method.

I am not sure what all that meant VoidMan, BUT, I have one month to figure it out. It shouldnt be that dificult to do this with all the info you guys gave me.
Thank you guys very much for your help, as usual.
Its time for some ass whooping :D

KNOPPIX is the way to go! I turned the sysadmin where I work onto it (dyed-in-the-wool WIN fanatic); we put it into his laptop which was on the company system at the time; HE COULD ACCESS ANY BOX ON THE SYSTEM INSTANTLY, WITHOUT CONFIGURING A FUCKING THING!!! He's hooked MAJOR now!!!
Bazoukas:
Knopixx sounds good, but for "in your face you morons" reasons, I want to use the Windos box to connect. So they will get the idea that you can do anything you want and that its not a moronoc WinShit universe.
I tried tightVNC though that runs on both Linux and Windos and it worked prety nice.
