I am in the same boat as the author is. I have vnc running on the linux box which I connect to from the Mac. Mac is just a dumb play box for me when html/js/css/py is being hacked. Only time I am using native Mac is for mobile app developing using xcode/eclipse. I am thinking of getting a ghetto laptop with linux installed so that I don't need to have my linux box switched on 24hrs a day.

If your Mac is powerful enough, why not just run a VM?

With git/svn scripts, it's easy to build and unit-test on your local VM, then push to your stage/prod-test box.
