Is it possible to set up a computer (preferably a mac pro) so that multiple users can log in at once, each on their own display with a different keyboard and mouse? We need this for a school setup in which 6-10 students will be using the same number of monitors and accounts connected to the central machine. The main goal is to have one central, easily updated machine and to save significantly on costs while running Mac OS X. Any other solutions to these requirements would also be welcome.
I can program, install hardware, or learn anything else fast if necessary.
Cheers and Thanks!
No, it is not possible with Apple hardware and MacOS.
The easiest way to do something like that would be a "Multiseat" linux system. X11 can handle this situation more or less easily, and there are many people who have this running successfully (as an example, see this article).
Of course, this doesn't offer MacOS as an operating system.
