| I'm not sure you're getting what he says... He doesn't run linux on OS X 10.4.5 or vice versa. After setting things up, all he does is use his PowerMac normally (logged into his main user account) and boots linux on his compaq notebook, runs a VNC client there and with it, accesses a _second_ account on the PowerMac.
Btw.: Kinda defies using a _notebook_, doesn't it. It's mobile only as far as your local network goes. Sure, you _could_ access your PowerMac via the internet when outside of the house, but things tend to turn _really_ slow once you haven't got at least a 10 Mbps connection for VNC... (Good enough for managing a server via GUI, not good enough for desktop work in my opinion...)
