Synergy is a software package that allows you to link PCs together in a way that resembles traditional multi monitor usage. By mousing past the edge of one monitor, you move your cursor into a different PC entirely. This has been tremendously useful in my multi-platform development, so I’d like to share what I’ve learned about it. Using my Windows Vista and Ubuntu 10.04 PCs, I will demonstrate how to install and configure Synergy for home use.
