+   `Host` in this context refers to the `Looking Glass (LG) host server application`,
+   to which the LG client connects to, it thus does not refer to the `host OS`!
+   
+   A common setup is to have a `host OS` running a `guest VM`. In such a setup
+   the `client application` runs on the `host OS`; and the `host application`
+   on the `guest VM`.
+
+   The term `Host application` was choosen over `Guest application`, because LG 
+   can be run in a VM to VM configuration, in which case both Host Application and
+   Client Application are run inside VM Guests.
 
 These instructions help you build the host yourself from the
