Has anyone had experience using a KVM setup (at least one HDMI and two USB ports) and using cat 5/6/7 between user and the computer? I don’t need to handle multiple computers or high-def video movies, just programming and office work. I need a bit more distance from my computer which must stay in a closet, and conventional KVM equipment won’t work. If so, I would appreciate knowing what brand and model devices you are using. Thanks so much. -Tom

You can do it without KVM, but using another computer connected to your
screen/keyboard/etc...
E.g. use some cheap/small/silent local machine (e.g. Banana Pi) which
you connect to your local devices (screen etc...), connect that machine
to your "real" machine in the closet via ethernet, and then use either
a remote X session or some other such "remote desktop" protocol to
connect to the real machine in the closet.
This setup can be described as a [thin
client](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin_client)
The advantage is that it's all standard components, can work over any
network config, ...

Once you get it set up, of course. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
