From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

An adapter that turns my laptop into a KVM. Also a foldable wireless keyboard. I used to carry a travel router that would VPN me home.
What adapter does the KVM?
Not OP, but I carry one from Star Tech. They are pricey, but if you need them, the are great.ine also has mass media support, so I can use a iso on my pc and boot the other computer to it, great for setting up servers when ilo/idrac decides to give you issues.
Can you link the one you use?

Yikes that's steep! Hard to warrant that over carrying a capture card and a keyboard. Thank you for the link though
What capture card do you carry?
I just use a cheap $15 one I got from Staples. a bit of delay but it gets the job done when you just need in quick. They make way better ones for relatively cheap
Yea I use one from Startech.

My job takes me to a lot of random environments I've never been to before. This thing is a life saver.
