LINUX for internet cafe?

[burikoy12]

I am at Linux side... Linux Developers were developing the Linux as Linux not forcing to be a Windows-like and if you use linux in the, some customers of yours will complain because of their different devices that cannot be supported by Linux.

Yes, it could be a good idea, but whose gonna use it? You? Me? or Him?
In a business perspective lang, you're customers won't stick long to your cafe if you will realize it.

Fortunately Linux does not behave well like Windows...
Mas prefered ang mob karon og Windows because of it's stability, performance and supports...

And what if muabot ang time nga makita na sa mga developers sa Linux nga mas gusto ang mga tawo og OS nga pareha sa Windows then without knowing, the developers would be force to make their particular products to become like Windows

Unfortunately, linux is becomming 1/4 as windows
...

Linus Benedict Torvalds might say something that the people did not expected to hear.

Just a point of view, rather an opinion...

You seem to imply that Windows has better stability and performance than Linux. I respectfully disagree. As a long time user of both Linux and Windows (95, 98, XP, Vista) there is now way Windows can compare to Linux's stability and performance. Virus pa lang daan...I need not elaborate further. Kana lang una'y akong masulti ana nga issue.

Secondly, many linux distros mimic Windows interface, to simply make the transition from Windows to Linux easier. Linux developers are fully aware of that fact. Pero ug moadvance na imo skills, naa pod kay choice kung gusto ka ug entirely different nga interface like E17 and Fluxbox. Mao na'y nindot sa Linux daghan ka'g choices.

Lastly, the biggest problem in using Linux for internet cafe, aside from games, is Yahoo Messenger. Although Gyachi ang Gizmo5 does the job well, clients are taken aback by the interface. Unfortunately, Pinoys are YM-crazy.

Yes, I might say that Linux is the best in stability, performance and support but only for us who knows how to use linux... Pero ang problema man gud bisag asa ka mulingi windows man gud ang mga tawo. If mag linux cafe man ka, then kinahanglan isibya jud nimug pamaayo sa kadaghanan nga "Ang akong icafe kay linux ang gapadagan". Then many istoryans will come to your cafe, but what if other users lang wa maanad og linux. Di jud sila mo prefer og ing-ana, kay di man sila kabalo. Easy for you to say ok ra xa sa cafe, pero mas labaw ang cons kaysa pros. Lugi gusyo dayon! Sayang hunan!

Awww, unsa ba, pagshure oi. Sa una nimong post imong gi-imply nga mas stable ang Windows, 'nya karon Linux na pod ang best sa stability and performance? Unsa man jud kuya? Hehehe.

if you want to use linux on your internet cafe, you need a distro that works just like windows. usa ra akong nasuwayan nga ura-ura na jud ug windows...openSUSE

i suggest PCLinuxOS for icafes. PCLinuxOS

good interface for M$ Windows users.
good choice of pre-installed applications:
OpenOffice
Firefox
Kopete for all-in-one IM (with webcam support)
Synaptic Package Manager (for installing and unistalling applications) -- Use this to install WINE

nindot sad ang community support and documentation, naa gyud available solutions for known problems.

yes, PCLinuxOS is good for net cafe.. not really confusing for windows users.

in linux, one major thing you should mind of is the drivers. if that linux distro has automatic driver installations for your proc, chipset, sata, sound, graphics, ethernet, and etc.

Amen to that!!!

Understanding Linux OSes requires alot of "reading"...
thats why Linux Developers took time to document their project and post solutions/HowTos to help users overcome and understand their problems.

installing linux with too many incompatibility will soil you with problems... heheh..tolerable yet maka highblood.
