I'm thinking of getting a GCS78 8-port KVM switch from Iogear.

Anyone have any first hand knowledge of the company or the switch.
I'm going to have a mix of Windows and SUSE behind the switch.
I have used 2 - 2port PS2 KVM switches by Iogear for over a year without the first problem switching between WinXP and Linux. I also have a 2port PS2 switch by Belkin which has caused me much anguish and grief... most frequently it does not switch between machines with the KB shortcut - it requires u use the switch built into the unit -- a BIG pain when it is in the floor. It sometimes loses the mouse also. And to add insult to injury; I paid $30 more for the Belkin switch. :^( Buy the IOgear KVM switch and be happy. Tom
