People are always hauling boxes and monitors into this place. The local Linux Users group meets there once a month.
If you need to do more than just update the box you are dragging up there, set up a mirror and a small ftp server on your laptop (or box), use rsync to update the mirror on the laptop each time you hook-in. Then the laptop can be the updates source for itself and any other boxes at home on your LAN. The rsync goes pretty fast once you have the files all copied over the first time. What is the policy of the cyber-cafe? I used one in London that always charged me a little extra because I used my laptop, instead of using one of their windows boxes.
