Hey, I knew that there was a difference between the US and good old UK or even the European Union ... I have started several cybercafés (noticed in accent ?) on the Old Continent, worked with or visited several others in the UK. My remarks was based on real-life first hand experience. Well, it's a big world out there ... ^_^ Thomas -----Original Message----- From: Thomas, Gregory (NBC, KNBC) [mailto:gregory.thomas@nbc.com] Sent: 02 May 2000 17:05 To: 'Thomas Beauchamp'; 'suse-linux-e@suse.com' Subject: RE: [SLE] Cybercafe
cybercafe using nothing but linux?
How often are you likely to tell your clients: "sorry, we do not do WORD", "No, we cannot offer you EXCEL processing", etc ... Got the picture? :-)
Most of the customers I've seen at cybercafes have been there to do internet-related business, E-mail, web, usenet, etc, without need for word processing. In the US if they need to do desktop publishing, word processing, etc, they go to Kinkos. Greg

i once spent some time thinking about this. i planned on having all the clients running through a single firewall/masq box, and building a little tcl/tk app that would dynamically add and subtract masq rules for each client.
could couple this with the 'at' command, so that for each station, with a single click, could run a script something like:
#!/bin/sh # script to bring up this stations masq rule /usr/bin/masq_ip_up # something to warn them at 5 minutes left echo "/usr/bin/warn" | at now + 25 minutes # script to bring down this stations masq rule echo "/usr/bin/masq_ip_down" | at now + 30 minutes
anyway, just some thoughts, hope they help..:)
