So run the Opteron headless & access it via VNC or Apple Remote Desktop.
I love how everyone knows how to do my job better than I do. Right now the Opteron is effectively-headless (it has a ten-year-old CRT attached) and I use it with RDC displaying to the iMac. Which leads to the discovery that PuTTY is far less dreadful than Terminal.app. And that while RDC is OK for occasional stuff, the redraws are too slow for serious work. This split-platform stuff is a pain in the neck, I want one desktop, not two. It's too jarring switching between the two environments, and as most of my work is done either in a web browser or a terminal session the underlying OS doesn't matter that much. So we're getting a cheap LCD for the Opteron and that'll become my primary machine. Running XP. Without Cygwin. Matt
