Do you have two systems on your desktop and two sets of keyboards and two (or three in my case) monitors? Want to use one keyboard and mouse on both systems without hardware? I’ve stumbled across a cool multi-platform app called Synergy that lets me use one keyboard and mouse on my Windows and Linux system at the same time!
The server app runs on my windows laptop (dual head) and the client side runs on my linux desktop. Now I can use the nice $120 Logitech wireless keyboard I have on both systems without any extra hardware. I simply move my mouse pointer over to the left hand side of my windows machine and it switches my keyboard over to the linux machine, without delay (although you can configure one). Very cool. It’s made my day for sure!
It works well between XP Pro and Win2k… noice!
