Synergy

Today I finally installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my EEE Box and installed Synergy on it. Synergy is a small app which is fantastic. It allows you to share your mouse,keyboard and clipboard across several computers. Now I can control my development machine with windows and my surf,chat,everything else machine with Ubuntu using one keyboard and one mouse. Also it feels like using a dual monitor setup but with two operation systems. Of course moving a windows from one system to another isnt possible and playing games on windows using a mouse which is connected to the linux machine isnt working either. The network just isnt fast enough. But besides this it rocks, it toke me 10 minutes to get everything up and running. Now I only need a bigger second monitor and everything is fine.
