Linux Multiuser Servers
An Anonymous Coward writes: "John Looney recently posted to the lkml, asking about the possibility of one computer serving multiple users. That is to say, multiple keyboards, mice, monitors, etc, hooked up to a single server. The advantages of such a setup in a lab type environment are obvious. The following discussion ranges through several technical issues with such a configuration, including a kernel limitation of one virtual terminal active at a time, and the typical lack of quality in long video cables. However, none of the issues raised are unbeatable. James Simmons, for example, has been working on cleaning up the virtual terminal code, with many related fixes already merged into Dave Jones' tree."
Motherfucker, this has been done before. Some communist cocksucker did it in hardware. I saw this bitch assed setup for sale somewhere and thought "hey this is a stupid motherfucking idea". This was back in the days of pentuim 90s. Those fucking pentiums were so "goddamn fast" that you could have more than on user on the same fucking computer.
Needless to say, the bitch hardware vendor did not last long. They got swallow by belkin like a cum load. Belkin axed their tech because reality was, fucking pentium 90s were slow assed pieces of shit.
If voting were effective, it would be illegal by now.
