so lets do it - could you start the process by setting up a wiki page?
Excellent! Looks like we can have one more collaborative effort. I have set up a wiki page initiating a FOSS based Cyber cafe and added a temporary structure to it.
Few recommendations on the software for the cafe admin -
If its Gnome then
1. Pessulus -
From its about - enables the system administrator to set mandatory settings in
GConf, which apply to all users, restricting what they can do, which may be of particular usefulness for kiosks (internet cafes, for example). Note : This tool has lot of missing features, yet worthwile.
2. Sabayon - www.gnome.org/projects/sabayon About - This powerful tool allows administrators to create profiles for groups of users, for example Programmers or Admin Staff and set certain default and mandatory settings for these groups.
If its KDE then
1. Kiosktool - http://extragear.kde.org/apps/kiosktool/ About : A Point&Click tool for system administrators to enable KDE's KIOSK features or otherwise preconfigure KDE for groups of users.
I am quite hopeful that this initative will result in important lessons in large scale workstation management and such.
