Re: keyboard switchers
I have done this multiple times with Debian (or any linux dist) with
absolutly no problems. The only problem I actually had was when it
rebooted... :) I was too lazy to go fix the bios so that it wouldn't stop
with an error if no keyboard was found.
You can even use a switch box that includes the mouse with no probs..it
just takes a few secs for it to get happy.
