Dual Monitor SoftwareSynergySynergy gives you the ability to use the same keyboard and mouse across multiple computers, different operating systems and monitors!
As you can see from the illustration above, you can move your mouse cursor from the computer monitor on the left running a flavour of Linux, to the computer monitor on the right running Microsoft Windows! And these 2 monitors are connected to 2 separate computer boxes! Not only are you sharing your keyboard and mouse between multiple computer systems, but also your clipboard! Yes, you can copy from one operating system, and paste it into another! Synergy is fairly easy to get running on any platform and to join your computers up. The only problem I found when using it, is if your computer crashed you may need to have a keyboard/mouse connected to the other computer to get it running again. That may have just been the setup I was running, so don't let this hold you back. It was also using a previous version of Synergy so I am sure it is even better now. You can download Synergy from SourceForge at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/synergy2/ Overall it is definitely worth a play, and can massively increase your desk space by removing un-needed peripherals.
