    Some of you may have seen my progress from "is MorphOS" worth it, through to getting a G4 Mini up and running :)

    Really loving MorphOS so far and this post isn't much more than to say how impressed I am with how well everything works (especially after finding the post about a fix for the OWB font installer script).

    But the one thing that caught me really off guard: Synergy installed by default, client and server!

    My desk was getting a bit cluttered, so I decided to google "morph os synergy" - being a Synergy user I thought it was worth a google, but didn't imagine it would actually be available on such a (no offence intended) niche OS.

    But what do I find, not only that it's available, but that it's installed and available as part of the default install!

    Took me about 30 seconds to get it connected to the Synergy server on my PC, and then found the very intuitive WBStartup and dropped Synergy in there. Working great! Synergy starts at boot and connects automatically. My desk is now clear of clutter with a monitor each for Windows and Morph OS.

    This leads me onto two questions about how I set this up:

    1. To get it launching at startup I dragged the Synergy Client icon from its install location to WBStartup - is this right? Intuitively I'd expect a reference (symlink/shortcut) instead, but couldn't figure out if that was right or how to go about it?

    2. Is there a way to start Synergy inconified rather than open in the middle of the screen on boot. I read an IRC copy/paste about priorities? http://blog.remotecpu.com/?p=7 - I feel like the guys here are talking about the same thing, and are making it work, but I think the discussion expects a level of understanding of the OS that I don't currently have.

    Any help on those two questions greatly appreciated.
