From openUserful

OpenUserful is an umbrella project for the various open source projects Userful produces and manages, related to multiseat Linux and Linux in public computers.

Projects

Multiseat Linux

Multiseat Linux provides multiple sets of user interface hardware (monitor/keyboard/mouse/sound etc.) so that multiple people can use one computer box simultaneously and independently. Multi-Station is ideal for libraries, Internet cafes, family home use, classrooms, call centers, and other high density, cost-sensitive environments. Putting two to ten users on one standard PC (instead of individual PCs) quickly creates significant hardware, system administration, and power savings.
