[olug] flaky KVM, four KVM cables

[Trent Melcher]

I have been using my 4 port Belkin for the last 2 years and haven't had any
issues, I have it attached to a Redhat, Suse, Ubuntu and Windows XP box,
however its not one of the cheap KVMs that Belkin makes.  Their
commercial/Enterprise grade stuff works quite well.

Belkin downright sucks, IME IOGear isn't necessarily much better.

Might I suggest an Avocent?
