FourHead: One PC, Four Users

LoganGD writes "A reseach group from UFPR university in Brazil, C3SL has managed to make one Linux box run four terminals at the same time. That means four mice, keyboards, displays and users with just one CPU. The way they managed to do that can be found at the FourHead project webpage. The fact that one computer science laboratory can suport up to 60 users whit only 15 PCs is really attractive for low-resource groups and countries."

    Well this is great! Now I don't have to be bothered by the actual downloading for the porn and I can just view it instead of waiting for that cumbersome downloading times.

    Person #1 Finds the good porn
    Person #2 Exchanges information from Person #1 about where the good porn is and initates the download process.
    Person #3 (Me) Views the porn.
    Person #4 "Cleans" and maintains the workspace.
