Most Screens

Leonard’s multi-screen setup. What’s really crazy about that (besides the fact he has a panaramic picture across 5 monitors) is he uses an open source project called Synergy to “share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware.” Who says open source doesn’t innovate? That’s almost as cool as News.com accepting pingbacks. :) (3)

My trackback didn’t show up in here yet, but after 10 minutes, I’ve got both my main desktop and laptop using Synergy. Thanks for posting this awesome open source project, Matt! :)

We used synergy around 1.5 years back in our office to work on the server and a workstation simultaneously… was pretty awesome then… should be better now. :)

Me too, just installed it and got it running in a matter of minutes - very easy to seyup.
Although i’ve just lost control of the client machine and restarting the server, the client hasn’t reconnected. I wonder if theres a way to set a remote restart command.
