Really nice. Move your mouse to one side of the screen and watch it move to the next pc/mac in your room. This feels really natural is surprisingly easy to do.

Remember, it DOES NOT make sense for a device with no monitor attached! You want VNC then.

If you run macs only, there’s teleport. It’s free and supports encryption, although setting up the encryption is somewhat difficult. (be sure to remove all known screens and readd them after setting up your private certificate)

teleport works really well and is my perferred choice.

Well, if it happens that you have windows or linux on your desk, then synergy is for you. And there’s a nice mac installer too. Synergy was not updated for three(!) years now, but seems it does it’s job pretty well, and the mac port is actively maintained. (including snow leopard support).

Setting up one of these tools is quite similar, you need to add screens, synergy needs your own server name (network name) as screen and every client that you want connect, like this:

There are several tutorials for synergy, check them out if you need help.
