VNC is a remote access program, a la Symantec's PC-Anywhere and CA's ControlIT products. It'll let you connect to a machine (and work with it as though you were sitting at a physical terminal) which has the VNC server installed if you have the client, so you could work on a MAC while runnin g a VNS session with a Linux box (or a Windows box) window It doesn't let yo u run a "dual-booting" system per se.
