Is it possible for the two of us to work on the same system (i.e. CPU) simultaneously under different user logins? We do have 2 monitors, 2 keyboards and 2 mouses. What is the best way to accomplish this task so that we both can share the available computing power simultaneously? Do we have to build a mini-LAN? In that case would we need another CPU?
I once saw an impressive demo of multiuser boxes at an HP booth at LinuxWorld. I never was able to see where that project went.
Last year a HOWTO for this type of setup was added to the Linux Documentation Project. I have never tried it, but here is the URL. http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XFree-Local-multi-user-HOWTO/index.html
