Parallels.
G5 iMac, got a spare Opteron workstation sitting around but can't
get money for a new machine.
So run the Opteron headless & access it via VNC or Apple Remote Desktop.
Or run the (free) Windows Remote Desktop client for Mac to remote-
control a terminal server session on the Opteron.
Or pull the trick where you control both desktops with one keyboard &
mouse, *not* with a KVM switch, but by putting a 1 pixel, full height
VNC session along the margin of one display, and whenever the mouse
cursor hits it, jumps to the other one. I forget if it's that simple
to set it up, but it's a clever trick for this kind of scenario.
