FreeBSD is multi-user right? 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.
This comes up occasionally, and it can be hard to find much information about it.
Here is one such discussion: http://www.dbforums.com/showthread.php?p=3893544
My understanding is that it is not possible with FreeBSD without quite a bit of hacking.
There has been some activity along these lines using Linux however: http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/3100/1/ http://www.userful.com/
Keep in mind that you would also need another video card (or possibly a supported dual-head video card).
A much simpler alternative would be to use an old system as a "thin" terminal. Where I live, systems that can be used like that are often considered junk and can be had for free.
