Remote mouse and kbd

[Chitta Mandal]

Is there a way (say via KDE) to have a remote (say 500km away,
on another system) mouse and keyboard on a system (say B) for
a system A.

So, if the user on system B enters a sequence of key strokes
(in the remote mode), those key strokes will be received on
system A, as if coming from the local keyboard of system A.

Maybe Synergy (http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/) will do what you
want. You can set that up so when you move the mouse to a screen edge,
the mouse and keyboard switch over to remote control of a system.

There are network enabled KVM switches, they are expensive, but the target system doesn't need to know it is being controlled. In a similar vane you could use VNC or freeNX. If this is an enterprise (business) effort, CrossTec has a product for $425 that might work with Mandriva. Are you trying to take over an existing session, or merely access your computer remotely? At a distance of about two hundred miles, you will probably want a display also.
