[NTLUG:Discuss] KVM choices

[Scott Womer]

Hi Greg,

I use both Compaq and BlackBox KVM switches with my Linux servers.  Both
work great, the BlackBox model has more options, and makes it easier to
switch between systems by offering both keyboard activated switching and
buttons right on the switch, whereas the Compaq model is just keyboard
activated.

Cya,
Scott Womer
