While it's improved a lot recently, in the past setting up a multi-seat computer has been a pain in the ass with a lot of manual configurations needed and other peculiar steps to get the hardware/software combination working right. What if the process were a lot simpler? What if new seats could be added to a computer at a very low cost and the setup was effectively "out of the box" to the point that it's truly plug-and-play? Well, we are now effectively at that point on the Linux desktop and there is a new Kickstarter effort to help in that initiative.
This is _wonderful_ for anywhere more than one computer user at a time is needed. The "thin client" has existed since X was client-server, which is basically forever, but being able to just plug in a USB cable for Keyboard, Video, Mouse _and_ audio is fantastic.
Of course graphics are the bottleneck, no surprise there. It's the highest bandwidth "thing" humans have.
