The notion of virtual KVM involves using software to route the operators Keyboard output Video input and Mouse output tofrom the target computer - over the IP network. No Cables or Extra Hardware Required. KVM is part of Linux.
KVM hardware was developed as a console switching technology way before smart thin client tools.
A KVM switch can save you a fortune in hardware costs if you have more than one computer at home. But these days Im changed to using a software based KVM. A better solution is a KVM Keyboard. Barrier is a software that works just like a KVM keyboard video and mouse switch which allows you to use a single mouse and keyboard to control several different computers by physically turning a dial on the box to switch the machine youre controlling at any given time.
