Subject: Re: [LUG] Setting up computers for public use
Hi Neil,
I developed something very similar for International Medical Group which they
have used successfully at multiple sites for a few years. It's a kiosk style
system based on Debian Linux which has a custom interface, access restrictions,
etc.
I would be happy to adjust it to your environment. Contact me off-list if
you're interested.
Regards,
Kyle Spencer
