I have a GNU/Linux distro based on Ubuntu, runing on a PC with multiple

configure XServer so that I can have multiple terminals (a terminal
being a display, a keyboard and a mouse) using the system as independent
users... I believe this was one of the original X Windows System goals,
but I am not sure on how to achieve this.
Any thougts??


There's at least one HOWTO out there for doing this.


multiseat is the magic word you need to enter into google to find it.




Not to encourage folks to post to the mailing list instead of googling 
for themselves, but https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX is a 
really good HowTo even if you're not using ubuntu.
