Where's the Second Computer?
By Jill Bauerle
Providing a PC in your reception area is a welcome gesture
for waiting clients, but if you have a busy reception area,
you'll have to furnish two computers, doubling the cost. Not
so fast. With Desktop Multiplier, you can transform a single
Linux PC into two computers (Linux with Firefox works fine
for Web browsing and checking Web-based e-mail). This free
software add-on by Userful, developers of public computing
software, can save your firm as much as $500 per station in
hardware costs and hundreds to thousands in maintenance per
year. The software turns one computer into two virtual
workstations — you'll need two keyboards, mice, and
monitors. If your firm runs browser-based applications, you
might be able to employ Desktop Multiplier beyond your
reception area, saving even more money. At home it's an
excellent way to "buy" the kids an extra computer. Desktop
Multiplier runs on Linux OS and requires 15 MB hard disk
space and a minimum of 64MB memory, a dual video card and
extra USB keyboard and mouse. Learn more about Desktop Multiplier.
