synergy for leopard

One of the tools I use all the time, and would find myself severly disabled if it wasn’t running, is synergy. There site describes what it is best:

synergy: [noun] a mutually advantageous conjunction of distinct elements

Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware. It’s intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own monitor(s).

Anywho, so after upgrading Leopard I about passed out when the mouse and keyboard did not work across systems! NOOO! After calming down and doing a quick search of the nets I found that the source is available. A quick downlo ad, ./configure –prefix=/usr/local, make, sudo make install and i was all set!

Go Open Source!
