[Techtalk] running multiple concurrent sessions

[Carla Schroder]

I've been playing with running multiple concurrent sessions on one machine. 
It is easy and fun, at least in console mode. (RH 7.2) I can open six, 
Alt+F1- F6, any combination of users I want. but when I try to open an x 
session it crashes as soon as I switch away.

For example, at Alt+F6 I'll fire up KDE. Works fine until I switch to one of 
the others, for example Ctrl+Alt+F1. when I come back it is crashed. Same for 
Gnome and XFCE. Should be plenty of hardware resources, Duron 800/256 RAM.

Should it not be possible to do this? All of my personalities must find 
simultaneous expression. Red hat docs are unhelpful.

thanks,
Carla
