No nook is slaved to a PC. When you connect a classic nook (wifi, or wifi/3g) the computer just sees the Nook as a USB drive. It isn't slaved to a particular computer and can be used on any computer whether it runs windows, linux, mac os, bsd, android, or any other system that supports USB 2.0 drives.

I personally have side-loaded books on to my nook from 4 different computers, each running a different OS. (1 fedora, 1 ubuntu, 1 os X, 1 winxp)
