This was already possible on Linux long before Windows supported it.
You just need to run two or more X servers (first time I did this, it was
on a 33 MHz i486 with 8 MB RAM, so quite long ago) I think some distros
even support this out of the box a user friendly/understandable way today,
like XP does.
