If you have a PC running on Linux, this software from Userful turns the computer into two.
The software, Desktop Multiplier, allows a single computer box to support multiple users (up to 10) at the same time. All you need to do is connect an extra monitor, USB keyboard and mouse to your computer box. See diagram.
From an article regarding Desktop Multiplier: "How much it slows down your computer depends largely on how fast your computer is and what you plan on using the computer for," said [Sean] Rousseau [Userful's marketing manager]. "For an example of what you can do we recently tried overloading one of our 10 user stations just to see if we could. All 10 had office programs and email open, they each had multiple YouTube videos playing, and six of them were playing RuneScape all at the same time without any slowdowns at all."
The current promotion comes with free two-user licences, so all you need is an extra video card (or a card that enables two monitors to be plugged in), a USB keyboard and a mouse.
You can download the software from here.
