        Hey Tom,

        If I was going to run an internet cafe (I'm assuming 15-20
        users at once here) and wanted to restrict what my users could
        do with the PCs then I would consider running a server and
        thin clients out to each of the desktops.

    diskless version could do the same and can play videos locally

    We only have 6 computers that the public can use running windows
    XP/2003
    I am getting the feeling that they want to upgrade them to vista :(
    I would like to install one with ubuntu (but I cant see that
    happening)

No worries Tom, I just thought I'd throw the idea out there. ;)

Do you mind if I ask what exactly your clients requirements are? What do they want to achieve in the end?

Now it has taken 2 days and 6 posts to get to this stage - and the answers are still to come.

Wouldn't it be so very nice if people would give all the details about their "problem" right from the start and save a lot of time?..... :-)

(I guess I am making this point because I had a dental appointment today and getting information reminded me of "just like pulling teeth" :-D .)
