As you can see, the tool also runs on any platform not only Windows.

Configuration
The configuration is farely easy:
On the computer with the keyboard and mouse, start the tool, click “Configure Server” and you will get this dialog:

Now save and click start.
On the other computers select “Client” and enter the hostname or IP address of the host computer. Done.
