    I have a dual output display card on my machine. Is there a virtualization solution that would allow me to connect two displays, two keyboards and two mice to run two systems out of one machine?

      You could possibly use additional USB keyboards and mice for a virtual machine, and run that virtual machine full screen on a monitor.

      xacc.ide - now with TabsToSpaces support
      IronScheme - 1.0 beta 2 - out now!
      ((lambda (x) `((lambda (x) ,x) ',x)) '`((lambda (x) ,x) ',x))

        You can do this? Doesn't the virtual machine needs to have the focus to receive the mouse and keyboard input?

          I have seen such a solution for Linux. I'm sorry I can't remember what company it was, but if you search long enough, you might find it.

            Sounds like you want an AlphaServer and a couple of VT100s. :-D
