Yeah, basically the same kind of thing, although synergy looks slicker

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.
