I've been waiting for a little free time to try this and finally
found some. This is fantastic! It was really easy to install, too.
The mouse and keyboard switch smoothly between the Linux and Windows
boxes. I don't have copy-and-paste working yet, and once the
Windows (client) machine is locked, Ctrl-Alt-Del from the Linux
server's keyboard doesn't work, but I'll try working these out
tomorrow.
Thank you so much for suggesting this.
Regards,
Gary
