Teleport

Public Preview 1

Information and Download

I'll quote the official line:

teleport is a simple utility to let you use one single mouse and keyboard to control several of your Macs.

Simply reach the edge of your screen, and your mouse teleports to your other Mac! The pasteboard can even be synchronized between the computers.

Looks pretty sweet and should be an interesting bit of software to watch as its development progresses. Known issues appear to be (quoted):
    * No encryption of transfers

    * Right modifiers do not work

    * Can't take control of slave after a network disconnection

    * Still moving mouse when no more control

    * Cmd-tab, cmd-ctrl-esc, expos?, cmd-shift-3 and more do not work on the slave but on the master

    * Keyboard mapping problems

    * Multiple monitors support not present

    * 10.2 compatibility problems

    * Fast user switching issues

Interesting. Hadn't heard of that one before, but I'm definately going to have to check it out now (thanks for the Mac link too).

@tHaCuBe: The point here is that VNC/Remote Desktop allow you to control another computer (on the same monitor). These two software applications allow you to, effectively, have dual monitors without a dual monitor card or two cards installed in one system, as well as keeping one from having to purchase a KVM switch for using one mouse/keyboard on multiple systems.
