I use a setup exactly like this and it works fine for me. The only thing I have found is that you need to select each system when booting(both windows and linux). I would also recommend not getting a USB KVM they seem too have more problems with varying OSes than the others and they may even need specific drivers installed to work correctly.

Instead of spending money on the monitor/keyboard, I thought maybe the two opeerating system can share one. Does anyone have done similiar thing? Your feedback please.
