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. <div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Apr 12, 2009 at 19:11, Raymond Yip <<a href="mailto:takoforce@gmail.com">takoforce@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"> I am not a technicians and I am not familiar with this Diskless setup. But I am curious, why would your friend want to implement this kind of setup in a cyber-cafe? In my opinion, cyber-cafe nowadays are more suitable to be called gaming-cafe. If you friend's cyber-cafe's customers are mostly gamers, this might not be a suitable setup for him. As far as I know Linux doesn't support many games yet, even with WINE there might still be flaws. Unless your friend's cyber-cafe are mainly doing internet-browsing-service kind of services, this might cause a problem. (Again thats what I understand about gaming on Linux) Also, Your friend might not be the only one need to be trained, if this setup doesn't support Windows-Linux integration, the customers may be forced to use Ubuntu as well. This might scare some of them off. (on the flip side...this might attract more users to Ubuntu). I think a way to implement this is to "pilot" the implementation. Setup a few PCs with this kind of setup and learn from there, see how it goes. This will be a good chance to learn this kind of implementation if you can do so. Arrr enough with my crap...dinner time.

I'd be glad to help him on understanding GNU+Linux and Ubuntu but regarding this diskless thing, and I could try setup the diskless environment but it could lead to a lot of other stuff. I believe technicians out there know what I mean.
