Re: my usecase, I have a 26" 1920x1200 monitor on my workstatop, with a 15" Powerbook (running Debian, 1ghz G4) next to it that is basically dedicated to "always online" stuff like IRC, IM, and Identica, but never runs anything else and never moves.

Firefox 3.5.x is slower than hell on it, and I last time I tried, Chromium wouldn't build on PowerPC.

Having two heads on seperate machines comes in rather handy for managing workflow of concurrent complex tasks; as in, I can yell at someone on one while doing work on the other.

I use synergy to "transport" input to the laptop.
