Summary: Targeting multi-user public computing environments, Userful
enables a Linux PC to connect up to ten monitors, giving each user the
experience of being connected to a standalone computer. Using Userful's
"1-Box" approach, up to ten users can browse the Internet, send email, and
run applications from one computer, with each user's monitor-based
"workstation" behaving like an independent PC.

I'd like to try it with open-source software. Is there a way to do it?
That would be very interesting: only one box in the office and 10
monitors, mice and keyboards connected to it individually...

Thanks, Charles.
