How to get desktops of 2 different computers onto 1 screen?


Hi,

I want to put the desktops from two different machines onto one widescreen. Is this possible? Any particular piece of soft/hardware?

Thanks

It is not possible, I don't think, to do what you're describing. Your best bet would be to get a KVM switch (they run about $40 for a 2-port) and swap between machines.

You can use vnc. There's a basic tutorial on this site.

Cheers. I was just checking to see if there was something glaringly obvious to use.
