We currently run 5 low-end PCs with FreeBSD as a monitoring station.
Each of the machines acts as an X server to machines elsewhere running a
variety of simple x apps, xterm, xload etc.  The solution is very simple
and works very well.

However, I can't help but think that one machine could quite adequately
handle all this, freeing up 4 machines to do other things.  The problem
being one of how do you connect 5 monitors to one machine, and then
subsequently how does X deal with this?  Can FreeBSD handle multiple
graphics cards?

Thanks,

alex....
