Dear Vickram,
You have a great idea...! Well a year ago, I and my friend decided to sell proxy solutions to these small time cafe's and faced the following problems
- The small cyber cafe's cannot afford to provide one
stand-alone machine for the proxy set-up. Normally they set-up win/analog/free proxy on a machine and allow users to use it during peak hours.
can do this with linux also
- A entire GNU\Linux cyber cafe setup has the most
daunting task (others may disagree) of a browser which supports all sites just like IE....we may agree that IE is insecure...but most of the sites are optimised for IE..! Opera is the best but then its paid..!
firefox wont cut it? i thought opera for linux was free?
- Cyber cafe accounting software is also needed, the
present ones are all windows based, there are a couple of projects on freshmeat but have'nt found success implementing them, maybe need to invest more man hours.
this is a few hours work to create
- Messengers with similiar LOOK FEEL AND
FUNCTIONALITY..!
isnt there linux version of yahoo and msn?
i'm asking these questions because i am in the process of converting a cybercafe to linux and would like feedback
