mouse and keyboard sharing

[mjack547]

Ok for people that either like or must have a few computers running at the same time (like me who has 5 computers all running on my computer desk)

And you are just fed up of having all the usb/ps2 cables from all of the computers. And even if you are using a KVM switch you might want to try this out.

Been a program I used for awhile and it was called synergy but now it is called synergy++ which works fairly well.

You can share a single mouse and keyboard with multiple computers and the nice thing about this is that they can be running WIndows on one machine then another can be running Irix and you can even have Mac 10.2x or higher on other sytem

Juse move your mouse to the next screen and both of your mouse andkeyboard will work on that computer now. You can even do cut and paster between all the systems. One other nice factor is taht you cans synchronizes screen savers as well

Now all systems must support TCP/IP networking.


Here is a download link that will give you pretty much all of the OS files.

Nice find MJ, am not in a position to try it at the moment, but I will definitely be giving it a go at work tomorrow.
