I'm using Ubuntu on my small iCafe

[elyserva]

Just want to share this. I've been using Ubuntu on my small iCafe in the province for several months now. I started using them when my Windows started acting up because of viruses, hardware problems, etc. Some WS won't install XP anymore. Some do but would reboot for no apparent reason. Mainly because of hardware problems, mostly defective memories. To my surprise, Ubuntu installed and ran on them without any problems.

I have few complaints from my customers but, mainly because I don't have games anymore. And some, because of unfamiliarity with some applications. Overall, however, it's doing great.

I was thinking of using CafePilot (it can be downloaded for free) as the Cafe Management SW but the customers don't like buying freepaid cards (remember, I'm in the province). So I have to go back to timing them manually.

Thanks! Try ko 'to!

So much easier kasi i-install yung CafePilot. Intimidated kasi ako ng mga text based commands. Winuser kasi ako.

Plus yung CafePilot eh tumatakbo yung either server o client sa Windows at Linux.

Some games also run on Ubuntu using Wine. So far, I was able to run Call of Duty 2 flawlessly(tamad ako mag-games). I'm sure there are other games that will run just as well.

Post ka ulit elyserva pag may napagana kang bagong timer, kailangan rin namin sa Shop namin. Server ang Ubuntu, yung clients Windows.

Actually eh napagana ko yung CafePilot dito sa akin. Kaya lang eh ayaw ng mga customer ko. Nasanay kasi sila dun sa Cafe Manila na ginagamit ko ngayon. Ayaw nila nung may pa-ticket-ticket pa. Plan ko eh gamitin sa pinaplano kong puwesto sa tapat ng La Salle Lipa.

Required niya eh Java. Madali lang ang Java, nag install lang ako ng Limewire, automatic na na iniinstall yung Java. Tapos eh uninstall mo na lang ang Limewire yung ayaw mo o block mo na lang sa firewall mo.

Tamang-tama yung CafePilot! Tatakbo siya sa Windows at Linux. Kahit anong combination, Server eh Windows - Client Linux and vice-versa.

how will you address the no ticket system?

[perbiu]

Problema nga yung ticket system, Pag biglang naubos yung load mag rereklamo yung customer.

Yung Cafe con leche pang Linux lang ata yun, paano sa Windows clients? Ang naisip ko ay subukan ko nalang paganahin yung Cybera sa Ubuntu.

Warcraft III is running fine on ubuntu 7.10 coz it works on my laptop, RA2 and YURI working properly.

Have a look at Urban Terror for a fun 1st person shooter that can be played over the internet or LAN, this works natively on Linux and is similar to CounterStrike 1.6
