I have tried to set up my computer so that 2 people can use it at once. I 
followed what this guy did "http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/multiuser/"; 
and I realize that his setup is just a hack and patch job. I was wondering
if there are plans to support this some time (may be option in layout to
ignore VT inputs?) anyhow I am CLOSE to getting it done and managed to have 
one or the other (with 2nd mouse and keyboard working on it) but when I load 
it up it seems to freeze the current screen/terminal. The guy said that the 
setup does not work on all video cards and apparently a GeForce2Pro and ATI 
All-in-wonder (Mach64) or Diamond 550 (TNT) setup doesn't work right now
(dang nvidia official drivers sometimes...). Now that I have babbled on for 
a bit i am asking is this is: already implemented,might be,kernel problem, 
never will work.

I personally like the idea of 2 people able to use 1 computer (I KNOW about 
terminals over network (100bit) but ever tried to play a game or DVD on it? 
hehe SLOW! may be USB2.0 will fix that?). Linux is the multiuser at the same 
time and Windoz can only dream of it. (I hear there is some "professional 
2000 gold delux super server edition" that can for 2000$ ha ha)

if this is not in any "plans" but you think it is possible (officially) who 
can i bug err e-mail that would know for sure?

Also is a PC a Personal Computer if 2+ people use it at once?hmmm if it
sin't, no wonder Microsoft is going to win in the PC market because the rest 
are far superior than PC :-)
