Talk:Multiseat configuration

Linux howto dated
The "how to do it in Linux" is out-of-date. It is possible to do multi-seat in Linux without any special software or patches. For instance, see http://blog.chris.tylers.info/index.php?/archives/14-Multiseat-X-Under-X11R6.97.0.html. JasonLong 13:48, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Windows
There is no mention of Windows options. That should be added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.229.179.194 (talk) 13:32, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree. However, most of the current deployments (like school systems) can't afford the high costs of Microsoft software.  So, the low-cost Multiseat options on Microsoft's operating systems are limited.  ~a (user • talk • contribs) 13:37, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Mac OS X
And what about Mac OS X ?

I've seen no mention whatsoever of this kind of setup on this platform. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.101.237.151 (talk) 14:15, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Misleading
Quote: "With the increasing capacity of processors and memory, computers can now perform significant numbers of tasks simultaneously without slowing down."

Here is something shocking... mainframes, minicomputers and servers have been doing this for long time - 30+ years. The statement is misleading as it gives the impression that modern technology made this possible only recently. Rilak (talk) 08:56, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Etymology please
Please can someone who was involved in this talk about how the name Zaphod came to be used for it?

 * I guess it came from Zaphod Beeblebrox. --RokerHRO (talk) 14:24, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Well Zaphod Beeblebrox (Cultural references) does rather cover it going the other way, pointing out that the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy character's name also refers to a computer system configured for a multi-seat, multi-head configuration. SlySven (talk) 18:58, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
