An internal mailing list at work was talking about synergy this
week. Someone pointed out the security stuff and said if ssh goes away it
would leave your desktop open to the world. That doesn't make sense to me,
but I haven't really looked at it.

I set it up one place and confused the heck out of myself as I had screen i=
n
screen on virtual desktops on a KVM with synergy as well. That was too many
layers and too many types of switching. It was really cool, though :).
