Install a *slow* software-only keyboard/monitor switcher
Authored by: EatingPie on Feb 02, '05 10:09:00AM

Don't wanna be a naysayer here, but there is something implied in every post...

Synergy is slow... just like VNC and Windows RDC.

A KVM is gonna be the fastest way to control another computer because you are connected directly to that computer via the keyboard/monitor. No TCP/IP involved. So if you have any concerns about typing/mouseing lag, the KVM is still the best solution in that arena.

Obviously Synergy wins on price and the 10-computers-at-once possibility. And doesn't even need to be in the same room as the "controlled" computer (after install anyway). But as I said, the KVM has its advantages too.
