The source forge project for Synergy has been abandoned by it's maintainer.

Another group has taken it up as:
http://code.google.com/p/synergy-plus/

I've personally been using Synergy for many years, using it right now 
actually.
I have a three screens, two on the main workstation and then a Third 
connected to a really old IBM think pad that I only run my IM client on. 
It was a great way to reclaim hardware for a dedicated purpose while 
making it feel integrated with my main workstation.

P.S. Also Synergy has two real advantages, multi-OS (Windows and OSX) 
and ClipBoard Syncing between all machines.
