Seanthat has been doable for a long time. Use this syntax:
'startx -- :x'. Your original session defaults to x=0, the next
should be x=1 etc. Ctl-alt f7-f12 accesses the x-sessions
whereas ctl-alt f1-f6 accesses the consoles you started the

Caldera has been created by the former Novell CEO, if I am right...
That's why they have developped a Novell support for Linux (yes : Linux
itself, and not Slackware or RedHat or SuSE or Mandrake or...).
That's a great idea, and they have given the rights to use it freely, and it
works well.
