Gentooers,

Anyone built a multi head setup using synergy?
If so, do you like it? 
Pros and Cons?


curiously,
James

For me now is essential to have synergy on my laptop and desktop it
improves the workflow greatly.

A lot, and recomend building it with the qt interface it makes simple
reorganizing the screens if you move them, or change the computer
acting as server.

Its easy to use, doesn't get in your way, and maybe two cons,it ask
you to pay if you want the shared clipboard feature, only one computer
acts like server so the control its :
laptop -> desktop
or
desktop ->  laptop
not
desktop <->laptop

Can't live without it. I use it at work and at home. I actually paid for
the premium for the shared clipboard and to keep the program going.

Hey thanks guys for the feedback. I'm going to give it whirl, when the
zenbook returns from repairs of a faulty keyboard. Since Gentoo is
my main system, I going to use workstation --> doz lappy.....
