In Mandrake 9.0 (From KDE):

K --> Configuration --> Start up & init --> New login with GDM

This will launch a second instance of X running on tty8. you can have
as many X sessions open as you like, running different desktops, logged
as different users....

It's not "Fast user switching". It's called a multiuser OS, and it's far
ahead of XP in this respect, IMO.

have a nice day :o)

(Btw, my k menu is in spanish, so i'm sorry if the translation
of the menu is not accurate.)
