I'm using a Belkin that was given to me and
it's fairly nice, but
sometimes it doesn't register the keystrokes to switch screens (Scroll-lock
twice, then it beeps, then another key sequence to select the machine).
Also, there seems to be some problems using the mouse and Linux (but you may
have to play around with that).
-spc (The Belkins can also be chained together, which is nice if you
have an insane number of machines 8-)
The Belkin I have seems to have had the ability to switch screens from the
keyboard 'burned out'. It quite working after I tried mulitiple times to
switch to a nonexistant system (oops).
Other than that I really like mine. I've used it with PC's and DEC Alpha's,
and the only problem I've had is with having the Alpha's keyboard plugged
in, the KVM would forget that there is a keyboard on the KVM, not just for
the Alpha, but for everything.
Still as nice as it is, it's even nicer to have multiple monitors (of course
that requires you to have the desktop realestate and the monitors.
Just stay away from the mechanical switches if you're going to be running
anything modernish. They seem to ghost unless you've a very slow refresh.
