While I'm logged on to one user id, can I log on as a different user, then switch/flip back and forth?
For example, I log on as user "don", but then want to log on as user "bob", but not have to log off "don"? When I log off "bob", I'd "return" to "don".
For anybody here with some IBM mainframe VM experience, this would be sort of like the "SESSION" command...
Thanks

You can 'su <user>' to change to a different user for the current tty, or if you want to have another entire X session running as a different user, get a new console:
Ctrl-Alt-F1 (for example)
Then, login as the new user and type,
startx -- :1
You can then swtich between X sessions with
Ctrl-Alt-F7 (typically the first X session) Ctrl-Alt-F8 (the new X session)
Note that the particular function keys will depend on the your tty configuration, but these are typical.
