There is a program called iPhoto Buddy (check macupdate.com) that will let
you specify different iPhoto Libraries. I think you can use it to copy
your iPhoto Library to a different drive (like our linux network share)
and iPhoto will then see the library there.

I haven#t tried this, but probably will since I am running low on disk
space as well. (I'm at 4000 pictures separated into 3 libraries to improve
speed).
