FreeBSD is multi-user right?
yes
I know this setup but only when other users are logging in remotely via another pc. I just want to know if it is possible for me to just buy 1 more monitor, a mouse and a keyboard and just dig a hole between my brother's room and mine and share with him my pc. I really wanted him to learn the inner workings of computer, but we cannot afford to buy another computer. Used computers are cheaper but not as cheap as just buying another used monitor and a keyboard. I've heard something like a dumb terminal but I guess it still requires another cpu.
i've been looking for a similar thing, and i know it's possible for linux, as you can see here :
http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/multiuser/ http://www.scii.nl/projects/3hm/
the idea is to have more than 1 extra videocard in the machine and then
use 2 or more keyboards and mice, personally i think this is a great hack and i've been searching for something like that for FreeBSD but have not found it
one other thing you can do however is to get yourself at least a pentiumI with 32 Mb RAM and a NIC with PXE and make that a diskless client attached to your machine
