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. -- Chris DeversThere's stuff above here
