Got multiple machines running multiple operating systems? Wish you could afford one of those killer USB KVM switches from Belkin so you could run all the machines off of a single keyboard and mouse? Turns out there’s a workable software solution to this issue, Synergy. It’s got less overhead than VNC and unlike Timbuktu, PC Anywhere and so on, it’s free. Runs on Win32, Linux and OSX.

I realized I didn’t sufficiently describe the software. It isn’t really a KVM replacement, in that each machine still requires a monitor – it just lets you dispense with multiple keyboards and mice. For someone like me, with three monitors and 3 OS’s running on their desk, this becomes extremely useful. Plus you can copy and paste between OS’s, another handy feature.
