As a sysadmin and the guy who creates/tests the WOLips Turnkey Mac
Installer...I have no issue...working with PHD's, NHD's, and local
HD's using Eclipse...or at least, launching it and creating a few
projects.
From an admins' point of view, there can be a ton of benefits for
users (for PHD's)...and most of the bugs are worked out pretty quickly.
Of course, if you run 10.5, you could always consider an external home
directory...those seem real popular in some circles...but the focus
there is limited and your I/O would be up for consideration.
