Hey! Something just occurred to me that would be pretty neat. I want to
know if it is possible.


Basically, the goal would be separate interactive consoles. My idea is to
use multiple video cards and USB keyboards/mice. Each setup would be
interactive, and not directly interfere with each other (meaning 1 person
types in on their setup something, it would not show on the others).

If this, or something like it, is possible, I would like to know!

Go look at the articles on SlashDot's website for either
Friday or Saturday. There was something posted in the
past few days about two users using a single PC box at
the same time with seperate keyboard/monitor/mouse.

Not really. In my eye, it is just an attempt to avoid purchasing
licences for multiple machines.

Well, I expect you could do this with Linux. The X11 Windows system is
designed to do precisely this sort of thing.

Unfortunately, MS/Windoze still isn't a proper multi user OS so I doubt
it could do this if you're tied to Microsoft.
