Has anybody else tried out this program? It's kind of like a software
KVM, but it uses multiple monitors. Looks like full KVM is coming.
I finally got around to trying out Synergy 1.0.8 - and I like it quite a
bit. Setup was incredibly easy - in fact I had it up and running in
under 5 minutes for both the client (win98) and server (RH 7.2).
Good stuff:
- I now don't have two keyboards and two mice on my desk! More room
is always good.
- Ease of configuration.
- Shared clipboard between machines.
Stuff still missing:
- Special character support in clipboard (only supports ASCII text).
- As per their TODO list, drag and drop between machines would be very
nice.
- applets for the taskbar in X.
- Full KVM functionality for network headless admin for ONE machine.
- encryption/authentication
All in all this is an *excellent* piece of software, and I'm glad I
stumbled across it.
