Linux and Public Access Computing?

Posted by Cliff on Wednesday August 21, 2002 @07:30AM from the polyglot-kiosk-mode-computers dept.

An Anonymous Coward asks: "The Seattle Community Technology Alliance is a non profit, federally funded, public/private project that supports community technology centers in the Seattle area. We are interested in moving our public workstations from Win 2000 to Linux. In order to do this, we need good multi-lingual options and the abiltiy to create 'guest accounts' that prevent users from changing settings (to provide a consistent environment for users). What are the best tools for multi-user Linux labs? Should we use KDE? Gnome? How do we keep users from changing settings? We are eager to start experimenting, but would appreciate expert advice on starting points!"

You're statements are rambling and retarded. The only reason I read them is because I was bored. Here's an idea: die a painful death. Don't like that one? Here's another: STFU. No? Ok, how about this: get a clue. You want to know why that letter wasn't printed by the paper it was submitted to? It sucked, had no relevency, and was painfully stupid. So are you. Go away.
