I am having two systems at home ( P III and  AMD),
both multibooting with 
ubuntu 7.10 and  windows XP. But I am having only one
monitor, keyboard and 
mouse. I thought of connecting both the systems with
KVM switch to use 
anyone at a time without the hassle of connecting and
disconnecting the 
cables. But the VNC option suggested seems to be
better.  Both systems have 
ethernet. Googling gives lot of tips realvnc/tightvnc
etc. I am confused 
which one will be easy to install and configure. Can
someone guide me?

With regards.
