SV: [SLE] two CRT and two keyboards?
It is possible to run a 2nd tube and a 2nd keyboard, say, 75 feet from my SuSE box so that others in my family can use the same HW plaform? This would include using X, of course. It strikes me that since unix in multiuser, that there ought to be a way do to this...
You probably could find some HW out there that would make that possible. But it most certanly would be more expensive than finding your other family members an old second computer and network them with your SuSE box. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

Sure; networking was the first thing that occured to me... but I've already got at least 2 tubes and keyboards....gathering dust. I also have 4 I/O ports on suzah (my Linux platform); what I've never seen is a means of adding extra keyboards. Anybody know how to do this, or is the PeeCee architecture that pathetic? gary -- Gary D.

There's an appliance called an X-terminal. Should be able to pick up a cheap, used one for a few hundred USD, if not less. Just make sure you have the firmware for the things; you'll probably have to set up a boot-server on your Linux machine, but that's close to a no-brainer. -- Bernd Felsche - Innovative Reckoning Perth, Western Australia -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
Another approach to this is the LTSP project. I'm running an iopener as a diskless client, and have hacked it up for local sound for Xfce. See www.ltsp.org for more info. Stew Benedict On Fri, 27 Oct 2000, Bernd Felsche wrote:

The terminal server project looks interesting. This way, with the Iopener, or maybe using an NCD Xterm, seems to do what I've got in mind. Thanks for the pointer. gary -- Gary D.
