Are you planning Linux Clients?

May 27, 2005 9:24 AM from

I'd be interrested in Multiplicity, but only if the secondary computers can also run Linux, not just windows.

I have a monitor that can switch between 2 computers itself, but since I don't like the small boxes that can hook multiple computers with a single keyboard/mouse/monitor I'd love to use this program for that.

So any chance such an expansion is in the works or are you planning to stay windows only?

Yes. Though it won't happen until at least later this year. We have the Mac version in development presently.

Any update on the linux client? I'd like my second machine to run linux (specifically Ubuntu) but I can't work without Multiplicity!

I can really use a Linux to use with my 6 Linux boxes. What is the status? Is there a alpha or beta version started? If not can you provide the communication information used by Multiplicity?

Any status on the Linux version, now that the OSX one is supposedly in beta?

I would like to add my support for a Linux client.

I would also like to see this happen. I am a long-time Synergy2 user, but after my initial play with the trial, I am an instant convert. But I also have an OS X machine, a Linux machine, and a Solaris machine. My two Windows machines are now separated from the others...

Mark another for Linux support. I too have been using Synergy2, but still run into a couple clipboard issues, and it doesn't support the fullscreen gaming. I'd easily buy Multiplicity if it would have a linux client (I run ubuntu on my laptop, which is always next to my desktop).

Add another vote for a linux client.

The reason I have 2nd computer is so that I can run another operating system easily, and Multiplicity would be ideal for me.

I'll have to wait for the linux version it seems.

I too would like a linux client... or failing that, one that will AT LEAST work with WINE. Also, your "Impulse Anywhere" should be linux-compatible. It's just a shame that I paid full price to support Stardock and your DRM-free software, only to have to download a working client installer from a torrent site. ie: I ended up stealing it anyway! (so to speak).

Add me for a Linux AND OSX client ... I purchased your software .. but would happily pay more to have those OS' work with Multiplicity as well!

That would be very useful but, well considering this thread was started 7 years ago I won't be holding my breath
