Well, the OS running on the boxes the kvm is physically attached to
doesn't matter (or at least shouldn't). To the boxes, it looks like
either a ps2 keboard/mouse and video combo or a usb keyboard/mouse and
video combo, depending on the adapter. The java viewer software only
runs on the workstation you're trying to remotely view with. (Nb: you
can also have an actual keyboard mouse and display hooked up to the kvm
to view that way as well).
