Multiple users, simultaneously - that requires multiple X servers.
Either with multiple video cards and monitors (this is possible) and
multiple keyboard/mice (dont know how feasible this is, may be
possible using USB keyboards/ mice, but I never tried) or a couple of
X terminals (can be found on ebay for as little as $15) with something
like XDMCP.
I do suggest that you follow the advice from some other posters to not
disable the gettys on your system - you will find out why if you do
disable them.
Again, I suggest you read up on some of this material before asking
more questions. Google has a world of information ready for you.
Cheers,
