    You could configure certain DEs in a kiosk mode. I don’t know much about it, but it reset the session and user to a default at every log off, he could track usage time, do all sorts of remote session management.

    If you search for Linux for classrooms there are probably a couple projects still around.

      That’s so cool. What kind of remote management does he use?

        I’m sorry, I didn’t go into it back then. And we’re talking like 15 years ago. He doesn’t even own the cafe anymore (what with smart phones and all), was a repair tech for a while, and now I don’t know, we lost touch.

          Do cyber cafes not exist anymore? Genuinely curious, don’t see them around my area.

            Nope, the concept pretty much vanished after we started carrying the internet in our pockets. Even LAN houses (as in places for gaming) are gone, but I can’t identify a clear reason for those.
