Certainly looks interesting. |

I guess the baselayout-vserver packages is somehow for setting up each |
38 |

For a long time I've wanted to set up a single piece of hardware for |
43 |
my parents, but with two screens, two keyboards, two mice. Each user |
44 |
would have what they expect in front of them physically but it's |
45 |
really a single computer. Can that be done using this software? |
