I don’t suppose this product is OS agnostic (ie: can I use my GNU/Linux netbook to control my headless GNU/Linux or *BSD servers)?

ps/ I hope that’s a retail CD you’re playing… you know what Lars thinks about file-sharing ;-P

I tried that to control my own laptop from my office laptop. The moment my own laptop screen saver kicks in, the session will be lost. Perhaps I missed a step or two. It would also be great to be able to log in remotely from my office laptop to my own laptop at the login console screen. Apparently it is not possible. The session between the two laptops can only be established when both are fully logged in.

Why I say that is if I use it to KVM into my servers in the data center, all servers are in the logout state. Perhaps it will work on servers (which I will try later), meaning the usb connection on the server end (and therefore the session) will always be on.

When the session between both computer is connected, it did what it says it does.

[...] Aten Laptop USB KVM Switch CS661 When we think of KVMs we think of a switch of some kind that allows one to control several computers with just one keyboard and mouse, but there are other kinds as well. Aten has sent me over what they are calling a Laptop USB KVM Switch, what is does it allow you to take over another computer via a USB connection, essentially creating a remote desktop session via USB. When active, the main or local computer takes over the controls of the remote computer and you see it�s desktop on the lock computer. In the name is �laptop�, but it can be used to connect any PCs together this way. The switch also has a USB port in it to allow sharing of a printer or other device as well, along with a built in GUI and file sharing as well. There�s no software to install, everything is self contained, and it even includes a convenient carrying case. ____________ Review: Testfreaks [...]
