Hi im a part owner of a cybercafe
Well... i was wondering if anyone has used any linux distro in a cybercafe before(particularly ubuntu though)
We currently have 24 computers running winxp with deepfreeze, and we will soon be getting 2 more. We were considering/going to install ubuntu, but i would just like to know what others have done, what software they used, how they would integrate it into a system like ours.
If you dont know what deep freeze is, it basically makes a virtual hard disk and makes a copy of the installed system, attaches itself to the windows kernal and tells windows to use the virtual install( unless in thaw mode), enabling the user complete freedom to do what they want with the pc, but once it reboots its back to how it was before they started, without any sign of them being there.

Is there anything like this for linux? if not, any alternatives?
Thanks to anyone that takes an interest and replys
