Re: Userful multidesktop

This is an interesting tool. and with enough real hosrsepower you
could share off a single computer with some workstation like

attached to it. (or one computer gaming for both for us gamers)

its a neat variation on thin client computing in any case, and has
certain advantages of LTSP or somesuch (http://www.ltsp.org/)

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
