Chances are if you have one computer in your household you havemore than onecomputer in your household.
It’s just a fact.
More and more homes have servers, media centers and multiple desktops/laptops.
Some people useKVM’s to control multiple machines.
These KVM’s are a simple switch that lets you switch control to another physically connected machine.
A for the server, B for the desktop and C for your media center.
This is OK but not the best setup.
Let’s say I want to copy information from my desktop to my server.
I can VNC,AAMMYor any number of remote control programs.
But what if I want to be able to view both machines at the same time?
What if I want to use one keyboard and mouse for two computers.
Aslavesystem is one that can receive input (keyboard and mouse) from a master.
you’ve got the option to setup a situation similar to multiple monitors with remote machines.
Even if you have multiple monitors this will still work.
It is really easy and if this fits a need that you have I highly recommend it!
Let’s take a look at it.
Come on back over to the Master machine and tell it where your Slave machine is.
you’re able to now go and configure hotkeys and other goodies but that’s it.
You are ready to manage multiple machines from one keyboard and mouse.
Next step world domination!
