Hi
I need a 2 port KVM swith to conect and use two linux systems at home with a
single montor, keyboard and mouse. I hope somebody in ilugc might be using
KVM switch. I would like to know where I can get that switch and if possible
the approximate cost? Are there any other alternative better options?

Do not know the actual use and am hazarding a shot.
Why use a KVM? Why not use VNC client on one system with server on the
other. Thus you will be able to see the other desktop native. What you
would miss out is boot time access. That can be achieved using serial
terminal access in boot line arguments and a terminal program on the
second system.
