Tools to mount and promote Fedora on cybers.
Hello buddies, I want get more information about Fedora and tools to help on migration of cybers Windows into Fedora. But I only found old software such as Cyborg (2003), or Fedora KIOS Spin unmaintained (I don't know why was stopped maintain it). Can help me, please?

Thank you so much! -- Álvaro Castillo Hi Álvaro, I think your question is not very clear. What does cybers Windows mean? I can't find any reference to a Fedora KIOS Spin (unless you mean kiosk spin). Promotion of any project, including Fedora, needs to be done carefully. If you push people away from tools they are happy with to something new, they may reject it out of hand. All then that is accomplished is a group of people who speak badly when they hear Fedora. Promoting a project means that you have to share the good and the bad. People have to have a realistic view of what the technology can do and where people might run into trouble. You need to help people understand what they gain from a new project and how difficult they should expect the learning curve to be. There is a good chance that the benefits do not (yet) outweigh the learning curve. In such a case, they are better to stay on the tools they know for now. Hope this helps. -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.ca/w/ What if the cure for cancer is trapped in the mind of a person without access to education? -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
Re: Tools to mount and promote Fedora on cybers.
Do not know the reason by it fedora kiosk spin edition was discontinued, but the same functionality can to achieve with xguest package. So you don't need anything more for install Fedora as a kiosk El jul 14, 2013 1:19 p.m., Digimer li...@alteeve.ca escribió: On 14/07/13 09:39, Álvaro Castillo wrote: Hello buddies, I want get more information about Fedora and tools to help on migration of cybers Windows into Fedora.

So you don't need anything more for install Fedora as a kiosk For a kiosk, being able to disconnect on idle is a nice feature, you do not want someone who forgot to disconnect from gmail to have his account compromised if someone use the kiosk after. Ideally, having xguest disconnecting rather than locking the screensaver would be a way to implement this. And usually, in a cyber cafe, you also want to be able to limit the time spent on the session by disconnecting after a time, and display that time to the customers. You also want to let people connect only if they paid :) -- Michael Scherer -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

A few months ago, I tried to find a tool for the same purpose and I encountered the same that you did. So, I tried again. Some tools that seem interesting: * OpenASB, wrote on Gambas. There are some RPMs for Mandriva. http://www.openasb.org/ * OpenLanHouse, no RPMs but an active project. http://sourceforge.net/projects/openlanhouse/ * New Cyber Control, based on Uwimbox, it isn't in any source code repository (correct me if wrong). Found in a blog post[0], the author says you can ask me for sources. http://www.mediafire.com/?0rham2bbegydjb2 I hope these will be useful for you. 0. http://tecnoubuntu.wordpress.com/2012/06/09/new-cyber-control-controla-tu-cyber-cafe-con-ubuntu/ -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Eduardo Mayorga Téllez Linux user no. 555403 http://about.me/mayorgalinux -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
