Hi Everybody.

I've got a SuSE system sitting next to a Debian system and I'd like
to be able to switch between them with a KVM switch. I've been
through two Belkin switches which have both failed. Can anyone
give me a recommendation on a worthwhile KVM switch that wont
crap-out in short order?

I've mostly heard bad things about Belkin KVMs.

I am using one by IO Gear. I don't know the exact model, but I have
been using it for a very long time and picked it up at Best Buy for
about $60. It's fully USB for all connections, and even has the audio
splitter to go with it.... Seems to work for me..

I'll second this. I've used a variety of IOGEAR's KVMs, including a
DVI+USB one to switch a flat-panel display between my Linux box and my
iMac. They've all worked well and given good signal (image) quality.
The DVI was one of the more affordable models I could find (none of
which are cheap).

I'll third it. I've had an IOGEAR KVM for over 3 years and never had any
problem with it.
