I run Synergy here on five computers and six monitors. The SDR computer is a quad core, has two monitors and runs Win7 32 Pro. It also runs the Synergy server and has been doing so for over six months. Photos at http://w3jjj.com/history.html .
The only problem I've ever encountered is that occasionally I have to restart the SDR system because it loses contact with the other computers. This has only happened when I use the Win 7 Snipping tool to cut/paste large images. I have not experienced any issues with DPC's. The real plus of not using a KVM switch is that you can cut/paste between computers with Synergy. You cannot drag and drop from computer-to-computer, but I understand that might be a future feature. My aforementioned SDR machine is Win 7 32, the Web Server machine is Win 7 32, two ancillary systems are Vista and my email/secondary digital receive system is XP Pro. I leave all of my systems (and the Flex) run 24x7 and have been up constantly for over a year. I did play with Ubuntu for a couple of years, but that was pre-Synergy, so I can't offer any insight into it's compatibility.

I did not find any KB articles and I don't remember it being talked about on this email list either. I'm curious if anyone is already running it, and if they have run into issues with it, specifically if it aggravates DPC's. I really want to get away from having to use a KVM switch to switch the keyboard and mouse between machines, I already have dedicated monitors for each. And using separate keyboards and mice is not really and option either. I'd like to use it across three of my machines. The main Ubuntu box, my Win 7 x64 SDR box, and my logging, Pegasus, rotator controller XP box. The KM "server" will be the Linux box since it is the one that will always be on, the Windows radio machines aren't always fired up.
