I am using OSX Tiger which is Unix based. I am not sure if its safe,
but next weekend I should be taking a vacation and I was wondering if it
would be both safe to my ibook to leave it on for the 2-3 days, and
leave it on for remote access.

If I did I would probably bring my handheld PC (since it has a ssh
client) and my family's Windows XP desktop does not. Okay if I did do
this, what would I be able to do remotely with Unix over a slow dial up
connection?
