Create Cyber ​​Café at no cost with GNU / Linux

Some time ago this question came to me, if something like this could be done. These days I was browsing and I got the bug of doubt again and I started to investigate a little more.

What am I looking for?

I want a Cyber ​​Café, fully functional. with Free Software

Ok, let's get to work ..

The first thing we should think about is the Operating System. Since that is where we are going to work.

I present to you CyberLinux 1.4 «Pampa»

It is a distribution based on Ubuntu LTS 12.04 and configured to look like Windows. With the aim that the people who enter our cyber do not feel like laboratory rats. The characteristics of this distribution are:

• Based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
• "User" with autologin and root permissions (sudo)
• User "Admin" with root permissions (sudo)
• User "root" not enabled.
• Lightdm as the startup manager.
• VNC without password at “user” login (/usr/bin/vnc.sh).
• CBM (slavolinux) with root permissions for "user" (sudo NOPASSWD).
• Slave configuration file linux (/ usr / bin / cbm).
• Gnome3 with classic gnome style (gnome-fallback).
• Chrome as the only web browser (and flash player support).
• Faenza icons
• Some of the installed applications: emesenechrome, libre office, vlc, bold, boldnessskype 4, 4k video downloader, 4kvideotomp3, camorama,gimp 2.8, mypaint, remmine, thunderbird, wineares for linuxpidginwinff, nerolinux and others..

Now? How do I control computers?

NEW CYBER CONTROL "NCC"

NCC It is with client controller designed for cyber cafes based on Uwimbux Cyber ​​Linux under GPL license that has the following features.

• Database for products
• Add time or money without customer disruption
• Client computer lock
• Chat system
• Automated accounts at the time of collection.
• Notice of total customer spending.
• Execute terminal commands on your client PCs from the server.
• Use of Faenza icons.

To use it, download the TAR, unzip it and you will see two .deb files. You just have to install them on the Server and on the client as appropriate and that's it.

Download NCC from MediaFire

How about huh? However. If you want, you can create a user in the / tmp / folder to delete all the downloaded files and modifications that could have been made by the people who go to your cyber at each restart.

#adduser --home /tmp/usuario

Well .. I live in Medellín, Colombia and I have a few old computers kept at home. I am thinking of doing this but I do not have the place to locate them. If anyone has any suggestions ..
