Operating system help.

[Guest]

Hrmm.. I have a question about operating system and I am somewhat stunned on,
I’m looking for an operating system that would allow me to install it on a
base server or terminal that would run 24/7 365 and I would be able to have
separate computers around the house that would allow me to run and use the
software on the base terminal/server and also I could it would allow me to
login with more than one computer at the same time. So umm is there an OS
that I could use for this? And hardware (servers or based pcs) any help would
be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You could use a member of the Windows Server family
and use it as a "Terminal Server".

You need what is called a terminal server. If you want to use Windows on the
clients you need a Windows based server.

If you want to use Linux on the clients there is a Linux version as well.
