Like Tom M, I also use a 4-port KVM switch, though it is a bit different from Tom's.
Your Logitech receiver is VERY similar to what I've used before and still use today. I have 3 each of keyboards and mice and have been absolutely frustrated at losing track of which one was connected to which computer. That's why I got my KVM switch. Yes, you can get one with 16 ports for computer connections and connect it up to just one monitor, or in my case my 55" Samsung TV.
Here are some links to help you make a decision if your interested in a KVM switch. Keep in mind, you'll need to connect them all via cables, and that CAN get pricey depending on the length, cost and quality of the cables used.
I used to use KVM witch with 2 PS/2 ports & VGA, making a setup on one monitor with 4-computers...those were the days, but I had more free time (as a dad of youngling, I don't right now).
My advice: use it if you must or do not have room for several keyboards & mouses...though with today options for connections & advances, there is so much of headache with connecting everything. Back in the day there was only single VGA & maybe advance DVI...but today, you have so much of the HDMI, D-adapter, mini-HDMI, mini D-adapter - & this is only for graphics.
+ if you have room, a monitors with keyboard & mouse would cost you less then KVM switch with cables! B)
Maybe because of this very interesting point further down in the article:
......... (Saying that, SvarDOS's ability to run Windows 3.x is currently more of a theoretical capability than a practical one. You will need to do some work with memory management to get it running. In our testing, Windows for Workgroups 3.11 installed without a hitch, but it hung on launch. Also, of course, Windows is not in any way abandonware.) .....
Besides, on the side, it is/can be of general interest.

OK, but why here?
Isn't this a Windows topic?!

But, just ignore my post.

KLiK,
If you still have that hardware there are a number of "lightweight" versions of Ubuntu that might make those computers more responsive.
What they probably won't do is make them crunch any faster.

Already I am topping with my electric bill here...with 2x workstation, each with ~1kW PSU.
Do those "lightweight" option include LTS mode? Talk more in PM, as this is topic for Win.

Your right, we should move this discussion to "All things Linux".
