Someone at Code4Lib 2007 in Athens GA gave a presentation on a unix distro
developed for managing public machines. Does anyone remember who gave this
presentation or the name of the distro they discussed.
Amy Begg De Groff and Luis Salazar from the Howard County (Maryland)
Library, using something Ubuntu-based sold by a vendor called Groovix.
The video of the talk is online here:

You may also want to look at the article by Dan Scott and Kevin Beswick
on "Quick Lookup Laptops in the Library: Leveraging Linux with a SLAX
LiveCD" in The Code4Lib Journal: http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/49
Depending on your technical expertise and available time, I'd also
recommend looking at LTSP: http://www.ltsp.org/
I know a number of public libraries in New Jersey that are using LTSP
very successfully with the help of a local computer consulting firm.
