[TriLUG] synergy between ubuntu and Vista

[William Sutton]

I can't speak for Ubuntu <-> Vista, but I can give some comments.  I have 
used Synergy with Gentoo <-> Win98 and Debian <-> XP

As Randy said (in a parallel message), Synergy versions need to match up 
somewhat.  AFAIK, minor revisions don't matter so much, but there was a 
significant major revision change that caused breakage--so try to use the 
same major revision and (if you can), close/identical minor revisions.
