In the office I have 2 computers. 1st is with Windows with 2 monitors. Second is with Ubuntu with it's separate monitor, keyboard and mouse. To free some space on the desk I got rid of the 2nd keyboard and mouse using a free tool called Synergy. You can use one terminal to control multiple machines and move to mouse cursor from one monitor to another.
As for now Windows version has got a nice gui. You just configure the monitors layout and start the server. Linux version has to be configured manually.
On linux all you need is to edit /etc/synergy.conf
and start the synergy client:
synergyc [SERVER HOST NAME]
You might have to update /etc/hosts file if you can't translate your server's host name.
More details about Ubuntu configuration: SynergyHowto for Ubuntu
I haven't tried QuickSynergy.
