Re: The state of multi-user servers?

userful's site and some loosely written articles from 2004 where it is
stated that linux's VT state leaves much to be desired. On the other hand,
I also found an article on a partnership done between HP and Mandrakesoft
that produces 4-seat systems running mandrake 9.2 which were marketed in
South Africa.

So, does anyone know anything about the state of a multi-seat linux systems?
Has anyone tried it? Is it possible? If so, where can I get my hands on
some implementation info?

Been there, done that, T-shirt will be on cafepress.com if anyone is willing to buy 1,000 in advance. :-)

It's a blog, and a bit skimpy on details....
