[gentoo-user] [OT] Choice of KVM?

Hello list, I didn't know where else to ask this, or I'd have spared you the annoyance. Apologies if needed. I need to replace a 4-port KVM switch by StarTech, which has failed twice - that is, the original failed and its replacement has as well. Two makes present themselves: Aten and Belkin.
