Synergy: One Mouse, One Keyboard, Multiple Machines (Ubuntu/OSX)

I am overjoyed and here is why. At home I have my main machine, which is a MacBook, and my secondary machine, which is my Ubuntu laptop. Both are on the same desk. My MacBook is connected to my Samsung Syncmaster 226BW monitor. My Ubuntu laptop is to the left of my monitor.

In the past, when I wanted to work on the Ubuntu laptop, I would fire up remote desktop on the Mac to access it, even though the laptop is about 50cm's to my left. The main reason I did this, is because I do not have any keyboard or mouse attached to the Ubuntu laptop, and trying to reach across is awkward. But no more, a great tool has solved my problem.
