    Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but carnt see any other. I have recently bought a shop in west dublin. I am thinking about putting in a terminal or two for internet access. Is there anyone around that has experience of this or even sets them up.

    Thanks in advance.

    If you are providing free internet access then just get a standard BB connection to the shop and then have a look here at security issues.

    If you intend to charge you need some type of billing system in place.

    ^^ If you're in the market for terminals for the net café superscouse, take a look at those. Simple web access for sure and not a hope really for online gaming but perfectly fine for email/web and easily managed ( just be careful someone doesn't swipe those usb keys on you ! ).

    Mandriva linux do a package deal with them also, including Mandriva on a 3gb pen drive.

    Fine little computer for a small net café startup.

    Interesting box, though a Dell Inspiron 530 DT without a monitor is currently cheaper when you include delivery cost.

    Linux can also do multiseat from a single box. There's a company selling systems like this commercially in the USA - they're popular with libraries.
