2 Computers via 1 Keyboard & Mouse

“Do you have multiple computers on your desk? Is one of them a
laptop that is sat off to the side a bit? Have you ever wished that
you could get rid of all but one of the keyboard / mouse combos
that clutter your desk or that your laptop was easier to control?
If so then Synergy is the answer to your woes.

“Synergy (synergy2.sf.net ) allows you to use the keyboard and
mouse of your primary computer to control all the other computers
around you. Best of all, it is free, works with Linux, OS X, and
Windows. There is one pitfall though… Synergy has not been
updated since 2006 but have no fear because it has been forked to a
new project called Synergy+ (http://code.google.com/p/synergy-plus)
and they are working to squash the bugs that have arisen plus add
new functionality. Below is an explanation of Synergy (taken from
the Synergy+ home page):

“Synergy+ (synergy-plus) lets you easily share a single mouse
and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating
systems, without special hardware. All you need is a LAN
connection.”
