    RW>> What does the E in KDE stand for?  I've used a KDM between two   
    RW>> computers before, but havn't heard of a KDE.   
      
    ml> KDM or KVM between two computers?   
      
    ml> as for the 'E' in 'KDE', originally 'KDE' was a word-play on Common   
    ml> Desktop Environment... the 'K' originally was to stand for 'Kool' but   
    ml> that was dropped and it became just 'K Desktop Environment'... so the   
    ml> 'E' stands for 'Environment' ;)   
      
    RW> I must have this confused. I have a Keyboard, Display and Mouse   
    RW> interface that allows control of two computers with one set of KDM   
    RW> devices.    
      
   hahaha... Keyboard Video Mouse == KVM :P   
      
   and i've seen several that also switch the audio, too... that way you only   
   hear sounds from the one system that you are actively controlling...   
      
   for some reason, i'm thinking that there is/was another item that could be   
   connected but it isn't important enough for me to be bothered looking it up ;)
