| Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware. It's intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own monitor(s).
It's not a KVM because each system needs its own monitor, but it allows you to seamlessly browse between all your systems, on their own monitors, without switching anything over.

Not in the least... | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 15:21:06 |

Yup... | by MrTrick | 2007-01-22 15:45:54 |

Not a hard limit | by ixeian | 2007-01-22 16:13:22 |

One cool use. | by snowblind | 2007-01-22 16:19:57 |
|
Yup | by ixeian | 2007-01-22 16:25:35 |

It works cross platform too | by snowblind | 2007-01-22 15:52:59 |
|
well, that's not really possible. | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 15:57:15 |
|
Right. | by snowblind | 2007-01-22 16:02:14 |

|
Well. | by snowblind | 2007-01-22 16:15:58 |
|
So in your example | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 16:19:51 |
|
Correct. | by snowblind | 2007-01-22 16:24:18 |
|
But that is VERY different to how this app works. | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 16:35:15 |
|
Not... | by snowblind | 2007-01-23 09:14:59 |
|
But this is NOT an X app, or modeled on it. (n/t) | by subbywan | 2007-01-23 12:31:43 |
|
hmm... | by MrTrick | 2007-01-22 16:03:25 |

But in VNC, you're never changing the process | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 16:32:08 |
|
That's what I'm talking about. | by MrTrick | 2007-01-22 16:41:15 |
|
Which would require quite a lot more software: | by subbywan | 2007-01-22 17:14:14 |

That is what X is. | by snowblind | 2007-01-22 16:17:53 |
