This may be of interest to those of you with computer labs and few resources
"The solution used by the C3SL for the creation of a computing lab
uses just 15 computers to support 60 users. In each computer are connected
4 sets of display, keyboard and mouse, and each of them operate independently
of the others, allowing a computer to be shared by 4 people."

Re: Linux Multi-Head- 4 users, 1 processor, simultaneously!

For those thinking of low-cost, real-world implementations in schools, I can really recommend skolelinux. Installation is damn simple (asks 3 questions, and it's done).
It uses a thin client approach, so the existing (legacy, old, slow) computers are networked with one or more powerful machines to provide a great environment for web browsing, openoffice, etc.
