Forget Synergy…KVMs are the way to go!
OK, so I still use Synergy. Just not on BigMomma. I got a 2-PC KVM from a friend and I’ve set up a *weird* desktop system (again). BigMomma is hooked up to CPU 1 (just because that’s the side that faces BigMomma) and Nighthawk’s keyboard and mouse are hooked up to CPU 2. The monitor port on CPU 2 is actually hooked up to Lapdawg (!) and I use Synergy to control both Lapdawg and Nighthawk. It’s kinda cool because then I can have my usual development setup – Firefox on the left screen, jEdit on the right. I just can’t drag the windows in between screens (yet) 
.
So here’s what the setup looks like:
Not bad, huh?
