What’s a KVM Switch you ask? Well, what it lets you do is have one keyboard, one mouse, one monitor running off 2 computers: Keyboard, Video, Mouse Switch. It has a little button that you press to switch between the two.
The video is the key part and that works incredibly smoothly. The Keyboard and Mouse part seem a bit choppy, though that’s probably more related to FreeBSD not being setup to use USB Keyboards & Mice. I’ve got PS/2 ones plugged directly in which seem to do the job.

It looks a little messy but believe me it’s an absolute joy to be able to switch between the 2 at the touch of a button.
And infact, I’ve got the network configuration linked into the router so I can use the internet connection.

Konqueror Running in KDE on FreeBSD:

It was version 4.9 that I installed before, and things have moved on so much – I reckon I mucked the install up a bit when I did it as the only user that seems to work smoothly is root, and the shutdown command breaks unless you put the -h flag (halt). Therefore, can see myself reinstalling it all – probably the latest version.

Anyway, this gadget should keep me amused for a while
