Will this switch work on XP and a Linux OS ?

It will work with XP, Linuxmint, Windows 7 and Linux, Windows 8 and Linux or about anything you want it seems so far for me.

Yes, it works independent of your OS or any other software. It is basically just a switch. No software whatsoever to install.

I am using it on XP, but not sure about Linux. I should as it is a physical switch and not software driven.

I have not used this in an XP system but it should work fine as it's a basic optical disc. No special drivers needed. Just plug and play.

The switch is equivalent of you unplugging the device from one computer and then plugging it into another computer. From other comments I see it even works if you extend the output with a USB hub. I see no reason why this wouldn't work.

it has ten DIP Switches that toggle if your system uses a ten pin switch remote this will probably work.. The switches are internal and you will have to open up the remote case to set the switches, but it only takes a very small Phillips Head Screw driver to do so... it is quite easy to set the swtiches

Yes it will work, but it is not plug and play. You have to follow the instructions that are included. Dont forget XP isnt supported past April 8

yes it does, I bought 2.... one for an xp machine and one for a windows 7 machine it works out of the box on both. Incidentally it even worked fine on my Linux machine.

Yes. It basically replaces your mouse so if will work with all programs. The drivers should be compatible with XP.

It should work. I don't have Vista machine to test, but it worked fine with Linux, XP and Win7. This is just a switch followed by a standard USB hub, and it doesn't require any driver. The standard USB drivers included in the OSes just work.

This was used in a custom XMBC HTPC so I can't give a straight answer on this. It should work on any HTPC build regardless of OS

I have this configured up with multiple windows versions (including Win 8) as well as Linux versions and have not had any issues - device circuitry acts as pass thru - note that I used each slot for a separate o/s and use the power buttons to dictate which o/s will boot.

Yes. I use it with KVM switch between my PC desktop and Mac laptop. Some of the extra buttons have different default assignment under two OSes, but other than that, no issues

Yes, the switch is compatible with both XP and Vista, of which I have one set up with each operating system. It's awesome!--two computers, one monitor.

Should work fine; works perfectly on 7, and there are no fundamental operational differences in 7 and XP as far as peripherals like keyboards, mice, etc. Good luck.

It should work.. but you will have issues because every time you switch computers it will detect a new device. using a KVM is probably not the best solution. You should consider using on of the computers as a print server.

Yes, according to the published specifications, it should work on an XP computer.

Yes. I have it working on Windows and Linux (RHEL/OEL.) It will also support Nic Teaming (if your switch will support 802.3ad.) If this helps: I am using this switch NetGear GS724Tv4.

Can't say for certain, but would think it would be ok. It works with Windows XPE and 7
