What?

I have here Nahant-2 AS, Nahant-1 DT FC3 all configured to allow multimple 
logins.

I logged in at root, went to System Settings/Login screen and configured remot 
logins there.

On my Debiannnnnn/Sarge box (with a runaway USB kbd) I'm running
X -query thylacine.demo.lan :1
X -query bettong.demo.lan :2
X -query dugong.demo.lan :3
to get login screens on them all. While in fact onlt one person has an account 
on each of those systems, there could be many accounts and many users with no 
further changes.

I can swap between the the systems using control-alt-<funckey> combinations.

You can also configure vncserver. RH does it one way, but I prefer SuSe's 
which hooks it into xinetd so you get an xDM login screen. I don't have notes 
on just how that is tho.

Note that VNC also interfaces (using Java) with web browser, so you can get a 
desktop from my box (if I set it up) from any Internet cafe in the world.

Note that VNC allows exporting arbitrary-sized screens. I find 1600x1200 good 
on the LAN - it's the natural size of my monitor, but 800x600 or so is usale 
via modem.
