Thanks for the post as I was also planning on looking for a cyber cafe mgt system i hadn't started as i hadnt gotten the funds as yet.Was planing on doing it 100% open source. Sorry for cross listing but one question i have is that is there any Open Source OS that 'goes easy' on a an average Windows user-one that is not interested so much in computers or is an ardent addict of windows. I would like one that anyone can easily use .I went to a cyber cafe running Ubuntu 11 on their machines but even as someone used to XP/Win7 i found it hard to switch between tabs or even applications sadly, the place closed down. Would gladly appreciate help on available very easy to use and manage desktop evironments or atleast something similar to windows.
