[NTLUG:Discuss] dual keyboards / dual mice

[Rick Moncello]

What you could do in this case is get a "dumb" terminal to connect to a
serial port.  This would give you the command prompt on a remote display and
allow you to run VMWare full screen on the console.

Another approach would be to get a LOW end PC and configure it as an X
terminal.  You could have it boot over the network to your main Linux box
(no need to even have a hard drive in it).  Then you'd have a full X desktop
to work with.  A quick search on http://www.google.com for "X terminal"
provided a list of sites detailing how to accomplish this.

Have fun!

Rick.

To go along with my DualHead question.... has
anyone hooked up dual keyboards and mice
to their linux box? It would be nice if I
could run VMware ( full screen ) on one monitor
and it have it's own keyboard/mouse and run
another XFree desktop or a Command Line
console on the other monitor and give it it's
own mouse and keyboard. Just a thought.

Thanks - jack
