But, that is like saying, Oh, How I Love VI!.
Synergy is old, not developed anymore, and difficult to configure; however, once it has been set up, it works great!
What Synergy is... A quick summaryAlso, this seems to allow me to use the open rage for another computer. I've configured the upper right half of my Linux desktop to connect to my PowerMac G4, however, I don't have this guy powered on presently, so I haven't verified that this works yet.
Synergy is a small console program that when configured and ran will allow you to connect two computers and two monitors to one keyboard and mouse over a network connection. This allows you to have something that looks like dual monitors with an extended desktop. But it has a huge advantage in the fact that it is an entirely separate computer, allowing for different not only different processing power and storage, but even an entirely different operating system.
I just got done configuring up synergy to connect from my Linux desktop to my MacBook. But, I added a stipulation, from Linux, it will only transfer from the lower right side of the monitor to the laptop and from the MacBook will only go back to the Linux PC from the middle (range 25% to 75%) of the left side. This decreases the number of times that I'll accidentally move from one computer to another.
