Alternatively, you can use putty on Windows to connect to Linux. It's
true that you only get console access that way, but I find that it is
often sufficient.
If you want to get graphical, then consider using Xming
http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Xming
which allow you to run apps on your Linux box, but have them displayed
on XP. Very nice. It uses "plink", which you can get from the same
website as putty.
I prefer these approaches over the KVM switch idea, as there's less
wires involved, and I've found switches to be somewhat temperamental -
although I think many people have no problems with them.
