Hi, all...

I'm wanting to reduce the number of keyboards, trackballs and monitors on my desk (currently 3 ea.), and wanting to purchase a 4-port KVM switch for the purpose.

Can someone please recommend a brand/model which they know to work well with a shared XP/Linux network?

Thanks...

I bought a generic KVM from Newegg that works well. Can't remember the brand but it was cheap and it works well.
Now I can't be certain but it seems that people recommend staying away from the Belkin KVMs. I know when I had a Belkin the thing would often misbehave when switching to a Linux box.
