Yes. As you say, basically the same. The good thing is you don't need X on
your windows box to use it and it works for more than 2 boxes. But as the FAQ
on synergy says, "the right tool for the job is whatever tool works best for
you".

PS. I use synergy on my HTPC (xbmc) at home and it seems to eat some memory
over time. DS.

Yeah, basically the same kind of thing, although synergy looks slicker
(I mean that in a good way) Now here's the cool part: on the Windows box,
I run VNC server. On the
Linux side, I use a utility called x2vnc. I start x2vnc up and connect
to the VNC server on Windows and voila! It's like having a twin
monitor setup, I can easily move the mouse between monitors now, and
the keyboard follows the mouse, no KVM needed (I have the keyboard &
mouse going into a KVM switch, actually, but that's only for
emergencies).
If you just want keyboard and mouse working on two or more boxes. I use
(several computers but for other reasons than making music) synergy on
windows and Linux. It's lightweitght but needs a working network.
