Hi

I want a system (ie computer) that can handle two simultaneous users, each
with their own set of screen, keyboard and mouse.

Since I use Windows now, I wanted to continue using windows. And I found a
company that can make that possible:
http://www.aldenassociates.net/

But then I have gotten suggestions about FreeBSD, and that it can do this
without special hardware. Apperantly it's called multiuser.
Is that correct? Can I have a true multiuser system with FreeBSD and only
one computer? If so, what is needed?
And since I never ever has tried FreeBSD, how difficult is it to get the
system up and running for a total newbie like me?
I looked at www.freebsd.org and found nothing of real value when searching
for multiuser.

Regards
/Jimi
