These things don't generally work on laptops (well atleast if you
intend to use the laptop to control the pc), and definately won't give
VNC style interaction (ie a window inside linux session).

There are however software solutions I read about a long time ago, and
I'm not currently near the magazines that the article was in (all
though I will be in an couple of hours or so) so I'm a bit rusty on
the details. Basically its a software kvm (so you'd need to install
the service on the device) and supported linux and doze IIRC. Ofcourse
this won't help until the OS (and service) is loaded.
