Hi,

yes. Try sticking "ubuntu macbook" into google ...

Ubuntu and OSX can certainly be connected via a network, I do it all the 
time, but you need to be a bit more specific as to what you want. i.e.

  - Just logging at the command line via ssh

  - Full desktop sharing (vnc and alike)

  - Shared filesystems (NFS, etc.)

All the above work, but are quite different things so you need to say 
more on what you want to happen.
