The first one. I was thinking, in most Internet Cafes, the CPU is underutilized whether for gaming or, especially browsing. So configuring a multiseat PC where with just one CPU can host four or five Linux and/or Windows instances, each with their own Kbd, mouse and monitor.
Configuring a multiseat X setup is not trivial. And evdev keeps juggling the eventx devices around -- one time a kbd is event3 then a reboot would reassign it to event6 and so on. Maybe Xen or QEMU would make things easier to set up with hw virtualization. So I'm thinking, in a typical mini/micro-ATX (1 AGP + 3 PCI slots) Celeron 3GHz with lots of RAM can handle up to 4 seats. --- mike t. ----- Original Message ---- > From: Tiger Quimpo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Technical Discussion List > <[email protected]> > Sent: Friday, December 14, 2007 11:06:04 AM > Subject: Re: [plug] Virtual Servers > > On Thu, 2007-12-13 at 19:05 -0800, Michael Tinsay wrote: > > Has anybody ever tried setting up a multi-seat PC using Xen or QEMU? > > What's a multi-seat PC? multiple sets of keyboard/mouse/display, > one per user and then each user would have their own virtual computer? > > or just, e.g., Virtual Private Servers like you can get from a > hosting service? > > tiger > > > _________________________________________________ > Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List > [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) > Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists > Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph > _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
