I think that I didn't explain my self well at all.
If the project goes ahead, I will be setting the 4 machines up with
Debian Sarge running X and Opera. These will be recycled machines.
Specs along the same lines of those I got from Craig last month.
The issue that I am asking for guidance with is the 'ticket/billing system'.
I am not looking for recommendations of a different way to run the
business. I specifically want an Open Source GPL distro solution that
will accept ticket numbers that relate to a specific data/time allocation.
As a bunch of mad keen hobbyists, which we are, and mad keen to see
Linux grow and push aside the dominance of that other operating system...
I'm calling on your ferreting abilities to hunt down a FOSS solution
within the scope I've presented so that we can create another example in
my local community of just how Linux can empower a small business.
Cheers Don

What Out Of The Box distro do people recommend to run a small internet
cafe of 4 computers.
Requirements - Suggested...
The user would purchase a ticket (with a number) on it from the counter.
The user would then punch the number into the web browser page on the
computer and then be given either a set time or set amount of data to
play with.
That's it... really simple.
Cheers Don
