Well, I misread. I realize "single user" is not equivalent to "single 
session", this is what I misread:

"Single-user mode
If you know will be operating in a single-user environment, starting a second 
image to run the server may not always be convenient."

I inferred that multi user requires client/server environment, (which can run 
in single or multiple images - I hope I understand correctly that this is 
true), but I erroneously assumed 
	"single user" = "single session."

ok, that is clear,

Thanks, Milan
