However we do have about 50 users who are also extremely heavy users of linux apps that we have provided limited ms apps by Citrix. We are looking to roll out newer MS apps for office/mail and at the same time the architecture guys want rid of the Citrix. I am guessing the only solution for them is a vm running windows.

SK, give me more details of synergy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synergy...merged_fork.29 will get you started.

I have it working Win7 to Ubuntu 11.10, both laptops running both the laptop screen and an external monitor on each (4 screens) at work and WinXP to Win7 at home.

It glitches from time to time, but it DOES do cut-n-paste between machines.


Works on Linux, iOS and Linux in any combination (and any number of machines)
