Synergy+: Control Multiple Computers With A Single Mouse And Keyboard [Windows, Linux, Mac OSX]<\/p>\n

With Synergy+, you can share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers (and operating systems, as Synergy+ works on Linux, Windows and Mac OSX) using only a LAN connection. The applications should be really useful for users with multiple computers.<\/p>\n

Why “Synergy+”? Because this is a maintenance fork of the original Synergy for which the development stopped in 2006. Synergy+ adds lots of important bug fixes, support for Windows services on Vista and Windows 7 and a new GUI.<\/p>\n

Synergy+ main features include:<\/p>\n

* Move your mouse easily between computers
\n * Requires nothing other than existing ethernet
\n * Copy and paste between your computers
\n * No need to press any buttons (unlike KVM)
\n * You can still use multiple monitors on the same computer
\n * Lock the mouse to one screen temporarily (useful for games)<\/p>\n

Using Synergy+
\nSynergy+ comes with a client and server. To see all the available options, open a terminal and type:<\/p>\n

-for the client:
\n
\nsynergyc --help
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

-for the server:
\n
\nsynergys --help
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

Note that on Linux and Mac OSX, you’ll have to create a config file.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

For more info and how to use, see the Synergy Plus wiki page.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Install Synergy+ In Ubuntu
\nThere is a PPA available for Ubuntu users (Jaunty, Karmic and Maverick) so to install Synergy+, simply paste the following commands in a terminal:
\n
\nsudo add-apt-repository ppa:northern-lights\/synergy-plus
\nsudo apt-get update
\nsudo apt-get install synergy-plus
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

Important: as you can see, there’s no package in the above PPA for Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx users. You will find 32bit and 64bit .deb files which will work in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx @ Synergy+ download page (link below)!<\/p>\n
