10.4: Use multiple simulataneous GUI accounts
Authored by: ssargon on Aug 15, '05 12:15:52PM

"When testing, this is seemed to work well, although you have to wonder if there will be problems with system calls from the same programs happening simutaneously. I've only been running this for about two hours, but no problems so far."

Most moderns systems uses special procedures when it comes to noninterruptable system-(mostly)calls so I can understand your consern over this. But i think that the only problem you can run into is that the system will wait until it gets access. It should not take long time (in human terms :-).

10.4: Use multiple simulataneous GUI accounts
Authored by: Cameroon on Aug 15, '05 12:48:25PM

There are likely other side effects; some programs (iChat I believe is one) can only be active/connected from one account at a time. General use word processing, browsing, etc. would be fine I imagine.
