Of synergy & desk harmony

The issue of managing an increasing number of devices is a growing concern.
With the pressure of a certification exam approaching me. I reached for a way to bring back my desktop into the fold.

My first such experience was using Synergy (goggle for it) an open source app, to simultenously work on a freebsd workstation & my xp machine. Having heard about Stardock software's similar program some time ago, when faced anew with a desire to corrale multiple machines to one keyboard and mouse, I checked to see if their fabled claims of looking at a mac client were true. Alas they arent after quite likely a year.

With that i was forced to Synergy and will quite likely be very happy once i get it setup... But that is the trick... getting it setup...
