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.
