Synergy is a program that will let you use one keyboard and mouse on multiple computers and Operating Systems across a network.
The Best example I have seen in my office is being used in the NMC(Network Monitoring Centre).
Guys in NMC have to monitor flaps in network there are around 20 monitors Horizontally located which has MRTG graphs and other applications running this program lets them access all this from a single point.
If you are Mandrake 2006 user like me, then use urpmi (Software Manager)
to download Synergy.
[root@mybox Cafe M]# urpmi synergy
