2 users using linux on console?

I have seen some articles about xorg, where you can run x for lots of user if you have graphic cards, monitors etc.
Is it possible to do it if i am using ONLY console?

Do you mean connecting more consoles to a single CPU box?

The most natural way would be to connect an intelligent terminal to a serial port. That is how it was natively done in Unix. You can also SSH into your box from any client using SSH of PuTTY.

If your question is if you can connect more keyboards and install more graphic cards into a single box, I don't know.

I have a linux box and i will insert a graphic card, keyboard and mouse in order to two users use it at same time. I know how to do it on X but do not know how to do it if i want only console mode.
