[LUG] Synergy...

 

Whilst I'm in LUG mode, I thought I'd drop a line to heartily recommend
a piece of software...

SYNERGY!

It's a server/client tool that allows the keyboard and mouse on the
server to be shared over the network to the clients.  I currently have
my desktop's keyboard and mouse being shared to my laptop.  My
configuration says "laptop to the left of desktop, desktop to the right
of laptop".  I run the synergys tool (server) on the desktop, then
synergyc tool (client) on the laptop, et viola when I move the mouse
off the left edge of the desktop machine it appears on the right edge
of the laptops, and vice versa.

I can't recommend this highly enough.  It's ace.

Grant.
