multiple computers, one keyboard & mouse solution

I found a very neat peice of opensource software that enables easy management of multiple pc systems via one keyboard and mouse.

http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/

check it out - I set it up just recently and it works perfectly.

I currently have two Dell precision workstations in my trading setup at home and was using a hardware KVM solution to switch keyboards and monitors between PC's.

I've now allocated one monitor per PC (side by side) and this nifty bit of software seamlessly serves the keyboard and mouse between the two PC's when I move the mouse off the side of one screen it appears on the next but controlling the second PC.

Thanks Arbitrageur, just thinking about the subject.

Will post-on elsewhere.

hmm.. MaxiVista looks pretty interesting. The Synergy software only manages keyboard and mouse, but the one here does monitors as well... i'll experiment with it later this week

PM me if you need a hand setting it up mate
