It is my understanding that back in the old days of UNIX (80's), that

Linux on one physical box and simply put multiple video cards in it
and hook up multiple keyboards/mice to it. The only question is:
how? Are there any howto or faq's out there on the subject?

I saw the switchbox to do that someplace on tigerdirect.com That is all i know about doing it.
