Yes, the Dell is right here. Perhaps the KVM switch would be a
better option, given my lack of Windows and VPN experience. I prefer
to use my Mac keyboard, would that interfere with the KVM switching
at all? I'll take a stab at the VNC setup - due to its economical
appeal - and if all else fails, I'll go KVM hunting.
