Subject: [THIN] OT - Library Computer for Internet Access Only
Sorry for the off topic post but I need some opinions on this.
My company runs retirement centers for the elderly. At each location we =
have a library with a DSL connection. I have been tasked with building = a
stripped down pc for them to use to surf the net and use web based = email.
I have built a couple of AMD based machines with no cd, no floppy, = minimal
everything. The trick now is what operating system to use and = how to lock
it all down.
I like Windows XP because the version of IE that ships with it is = colorful
and easy to read. I am also open to Win98 or Linux or whatever = will
accomplish this best. All they ever need to see is the web = browser.=20
I want to make sure they see no desktop, no drives, etc and that they = are
not able to install crap like the bonzi buddy or gator if they go to = a
website that asks them to install it. I also have to make sure that = their
13 year old grandson is not able to screw it up when he comes for = a visit.
I don't want history or cookies saved and I don't want it to = remember any
of the last visited sites or any of that autocomplete = garbage. These
computers will be shared by about 500 senior citizens = who have an uncanny
ability to break things (not as bad as nurses, but = close).
Does anyone have any experience with setting something like this up or =
have any ideas how to go about it.
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Greg
