The closest I've seen recently was a number of Optus kiosks scattered around the international terminal offering free Internet access. They all seem to be powered by Ubuntu, but I only figured that out because of the one that'd crashed on a boot screen. :-/ I would suggest that if you get desperate for a Linux desktop you could by a cheap second hand laptop and install a light version of Linux like Xubuntu http://www.xubuntu.org/ Incidentally, Xubuntu on the Eee is a winning combination. -- Pete -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
Re: [SLUG] New in australia
Rodolphe: Welcome! I've recently jumped off the boat as well and there is one very interesting technical policy I have seen here in AU (and New Zealand) compared to other countries I have lived in (Taiwan and the US). There are bandwidth caps. What you'll consequently see is a serious lack of free access. I've heard some of the libraries in Melbourne offer untimed free wireless access, but I don't know if it is the same at any of the libraries up here. However, that stated, I agree with Sonia that gnu/linux compliant internet cafe needs a little clarification.
