I dual booted his computer so I can ween him off of windows. (I know that he will get frustrated and angry if he gets stuck, and can't do something on ubuntu) Can I use one dydns account to track his IP, whether he is in his ubuntu partition, or if he is in his windows partition?(as long as he is on the same computer) or will I need to make two accounts for him. One for his ubuntu, and another for his XP?
