From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Erm... Pardon my ignorance, but isn't the point of KVM is to be a hardware solution so you're not dependent on whatever crap is running on the machine? Just buy a KVM box or DIY yourself, problem solved.
Experience on barrier is much nicer and smoother than on a KVM switch
For instance, you have a PC and a laptop, you can drag the mouse off the left side of the monitor onto the laptop and use the mouse/kB there seamlessly
No, with Barrier I can use one set of keyboard/mouse seamlessly on multiple machines. I don't want to manually switch. I just want to drag the mouse across and the clipboard works too.
