Yes, that is exactly what I mean. We are each logged in to separate vts, 1, 2 and 3 and then we each have our own X sessions up on vt7, 8 and 9. I have been known to log in a test user on vt4 and X session on vt10, but only once, or twice. That way we can each have our own set of programs running, even when someone else is sitting at the computer. It usually takes very little time once the computer frees up for someone else to sit down, press Ctl-Alt-Fx and be running their own session right where they left off.Marc Shapiro wrote:On 10/27/2012 08:27 PM, Stan Hoeppner wrote:I don't know if this makes a difference, but...

That's two 60 watt incandescent bulbsworth of juice and heat output at full load, one bulb worth at idle, anda relatively loud stock cooler to prevent it from melting. Coming from a 2800+ which is a ~60 watt CPU, and given the fact you'll never make use of more than 2 of those 8 cores, I recommend a dual core AthlonII X2 @ 3.4GHz. I have the 3GHz model and the 2nd core is prettymuch always idle, with primary core being idle most of the time as well,as is everyone's.Logged in all the time simultaneously like a 3-seater? Hugo
