i have a question of my own. not slackware related, but anyway...
is it possible to:
plug 2 monitors, ps/2 keyboard, usb keyboard, ps/2 mouse, usb mouse, and
effectivly have two (virtual) workspaces on a single box? maybe even more
keyboards, monitors etc?

Assuming you don't want PS/2 for both "workstations", the answer is yes, but
one user will have to sign into a terminal window and startx -- :1 for X.

These people have done exactly what you're describing, albeit tailored
to libraries and other public access uses. They use dual-monitor video
cards and can put several of them in a single machine. Keyboards and
mice are all USB as are the printers.
