Mikke Mattsson tapped away at the keyboard with:
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.
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
