10 Desktops On One Computer
A software solution for those who have a tight budget but need to provide computer access to multiple people has been developed for Linux. The Linux Desktop Multiplier has already been used to provide high performance Internet cafes at low costs at major technology conferences such as GroupWise European Summit and GWAVACon.
The Linux Desktop Multiplier allows users of SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED 10) to have up to 10 users share one PC. To do so you need to have dual-head graphics cards installed along with all the required keyboards, mice and monitors. It is said that the cost per user can be reduced in this way to about $99 per user.
