Do I need a display for each PC workstation?

ApteryxWare.com - SingleControl - FAQs
Generally, yes. SingleControl is built to be used on a multiple system setup with multiple displays. However for smaller installations you may be able to get away with using just one or two monitors. Some monitors do allow multiple sources - 2 PCs per monitor. Check with the monitor manufacturer for specs. Although it won’t be automatic, as you would have to switch the monitor’s source with a button or similar way, you would still need only one keyboard & mouse on your desktop.

We utilise FreeBSD as it was designed to be used, with added, easy to use, GUI tools where needed most. An example of this is the famous "Ports" system and DesktopBSD's Package Manager. After installation of a few ports using the Package Manager, you could just as easy switch to a console and install further packages.

By simply changing the global setting, all messages are changed.
