some others chose GNU/Linux right away. Our LUG members installed GNU/Linux in few of the cafes , where in some they installed themselves. And they are happy with it, they don't want to go back to windows any more.
cool - can you give a case study on how they are handling the various demands of customers
There cafes are with 10-15 computers. OS:- Fedora Core 6 & Ubuntu 5.10 Main Work: Browsing, chatting
Apps Used: For Browsing: Firefox Chatting: Gaim
Still in these cafes are not providing much with Webcam or voice chat , and now they are looking applications for that. And other thing they are missing is the games :(
Bad News: Some of the cafes moved to Cable DSl provided by WEBEL, and their connector program(crclient) is not working in these versions of Linux. so, we lost few of the cafes. Anyone knows how to use that ?
Cafes only with DSl connection from BSNL are in good position(may be 2-3).
