Setting up computers for public use???

Hi, i am going to set up around 5 computers for use in our backpackers hostel. Just wondering the best operating system to use, and the best way to set these 5 computers up. They just need to be simple and i am custom building all 5 computers.

I can be emailed at brodie.91@gmail.com

Thanks

Hey go to Google or yahoo and search for windows steadystate thats a good software to use on the computers. It keeps people from destroying it and its free.

One of the most important things is that you don't give the users admin, root or superuser rights as this enables them to realy screw the system up.

I would also recommend making an image of the drives and re-installing the image everyday, so that you put things back to normal.

For Internet Cafe style use, I would recommend using thin clients, these tend to be a lot more robust and more secure.
