thanx for all the comments, I know I can use sth like this at home. If I had just heard about this two months ago :D
I LOVE this!!!
For me this mean Ubuntu as I am over using a Ubuntu laptop via synergy.
Hard to config.
I just discovered it and find it awesome!
Now I don't use 2 monitors on my computer, I use 2 computers simultaneously, each one its own monitor.
This is a simple but elegant tool that is great if you have to work on a notebook and a desktop machine concurrently. I wish I had invented it myself.
I love this program! People who don't know about it think I am using some kind of magic trick to move the mouse between my three monitors!
Great for users with multiple computers on the desk and no room for more than one keyboard and mouse. The advantage over a traditional kvm is that you can still see all the screens at once as you still need the physical screens to use this.
I run two computers across three monitors - the ability to only use one keyboard and one mouse is so much easier, saves desk space, and the copy/paste functionality is also very handy.
This is the open source (thus free) version of Multiplicity en Maxivista. It's a bit harder to set up, but once you've got it, it works like a charm. Highly recommended!
It's fantastic! I've used it with Linux, Windows XP and Windows Vista and never had trouble.
I especially appreciate the copy/paste function from one computer to the other.
Fantastic software, makes my life so much easier and speeds up workflow, even works great on Windows Vista!
A sweet program if you are using multiple computers at once and only want to use your main Keyboard and mouse to access them.
I'm a top user? Well, everytime I want to use my Linux box within the office, it's tracked under Synergy heh...
Good software for working with multiple machines with just one mouse and keyboard. The clipboard copy / paste function between machines can be a bit finicky - especially when using remote desktop on the remote machines (the right shift key doesn't seem to work either when using remote desktop on a non-local machine)
