I have my regular machine, an old HP running Win 7/64, that I've been using for years and a friend recently gave me a Dell Precision 490 server that I want to set up as a Linux platform so I can teach myself how to use it.
I know I can buy a DVI KVM switch for about $100 or I can run a software VNC.
I know that one advantage of the hardware switch is that I can use it to load the OS.
The main advantage I see with software is the price --- "free" is almost within my budget!
Due to space limitations, I'm restricted to a single monitor, mouse & kbd.
May I have your thoughts/suggestions?
