Is there a way to get a separate desktop/Gnome terminal for each user logged in through VNC? I want to be able to have several people working simultanously on the same machine in Ubuntu.
You need xinetd and vnc4server, which allows a very elegant solution. I have installed this on a large server at my college and use it as a virtual hardware lab.
The server has a number of vnc ports open, each with a resolution configured. If a user connects to the port, a new vnc sesssion is created and the graphical login screeen is shown. I have added the configuration for xinetd as well in the post below.
