Multi-Seat Computing.

[LeasingEval]

Is anyone using a multi-seat PC setup in a business environment?
i.e. one PC with multiple monitors/mouse/keyboard attached in such a way that each user appears to have their own machine.

Hello LeasingEval,

The best solution I can think of is a Linux distrubution such as Ubuntu, with some configuring https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX . It would need a bit of technical nous however.

Kind regards,

Miles

Thanks for the reply Miles.
I know how to setup a multi-seat environment - just wondering if anyone here is taking advantage of such a configuration.

I built many training labs like this either using multiple X workstations off a single server, or multiple monitors and keyboards on a single server.

For larger labs (more than 4 seats) I usually go with the diskless X workstations.
