Some tips on local display of networked machines
Authored by: rhowell on Jul 01, '04 01:03:53PM
Screen Savers had an episode where they featured a free, open-source product called Synergy. From it's web page:

"Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems without special hardware. It's intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own display."

I think the idea is that it sends only the keyboard and mouse signals across the network, so it doesn't suffer from video latency. You can hook up Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux computers together.

This is a nice alternative if you have the room for a monitor from each system, side by side.
