Answer:

Yes.

NOTE:

Linux is not only multi-tasking, it is also multi-user. This means two people or two hundred people may be logged into a Linux server simultaneously, each of those logged in users may be running multiple tasks, each may simultaneously have a fully graphical desktop environment, all with a single server. It is not necessary for those users to each have a desktop PC to enjoy their graphical environments with X-Windows and XDMCP, a thin client or X-Windows terminal is sufficient. If desktop PCs are available and are equipped with an X Windows server, their desktop PCs can also function as X-Windows desktops to the Linux server while also running their favorite desktop Operating System (MS Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Apple OSX etc.).
