[ubuntu-my] Ubuntu, diskless

[Wan M Fahmi Wan Azmi]

Cyber-cafe should be just that. Not for gaming. Although most malaysian
cybercafes do that. I belive (though not sure) loopholes in the law allows
cybercafes to operate as a gaming joint. The rules are more lax for a
cybercafe than for a, say, game arcades.
