Synergy


I found this wonderful tool to share your mouse and keyboard over multiple machines.  I use this when I have two computer (like my two laptops) so I never have to take my hands off the one keyboard/mouse.  When I am in the main room, this tool allows me to control the house computer without VNC since I can see the monitor fine, but am too far to use the mouse and keyboard.  It is very easy to setup (though some settings do not make themselves obvious).

I have not played with the cross platform options, but it sounds great if you have a serious setup at home.

This is a great open source app.  Simple, clean, and just works.  Well done Synergy.
