I'd like to have multiple users working from separate monitors, keyboards, and mice, but all connected to a single Gentoo computer. The main purpose is to minimize sys admin duties but hardware and power requirements would also be minimized.
Apparently this is called "multiseat" and native support in Xorg might not be ready for primetime: http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/Multiseat http://vignatti.wordpress.com/2008/09/23/multiseat-roadmap There is a configuration tool for Xorg multiseat called MDM: http://wiki.c3sl.ufpr.br/multiseat/index.php/Mdm but from what I've read it isn't ideal. Besides Xorg multiseat I've read about LTSP and a few others: http://www.ltsp.org http://www.thinstation.org http://automseat.sourceforge.net http://www.openthinclient.org There are also a lot of proprietary options. Is LTSP the way to go? - Grant
