Re: Technical question about a KVM switch

I do this between my server, which is running Linux, for my ftp site, and my
business computer. It works fine, except my keyboard on the business
computer is a touchpad, and it would not work, and I just installed a
separate mouse. I rarely have occasion to be on the server, so it was a
very practical solution. My son set it up for me.
