With synergy you can use how many computer you want, but you need to have 1 screen for each. Another tool is x2x but synergy is better (works on Win32 too) Yes the KVM is a great tool.

I put both client and server on a Windows 2000 box and FreeBSD machine, quickly had it running with either as the "server". synergy uses less resources than another solution I once tried, x2vnc, and gives a few benefits too.</p> <p>cut and past clipboard between the two is VERY handy. Thanks for mentioning this, I've been meaning to look for a solution that didn't load down the windows box too much and this is perfect.</p> Ack, this is great.

cut and past clipboard between the two is VERY handy. Thanks for mentioning this, I’ve been meaning to look for a solution that didn’t load down the windows box too much and this is perfect.
