[Álvaro Castillo]

Hi Álvaro,

   I think your question is not very clear. What does "cybers Windows" 
mean? I can't find any reference to a "Fedora KIOS Spin" (unless you 
mean "kiosk" spin).

   Promotion of any project, including Fedora, needs to be done 
carefully. If you push people away from tools they are happy with to 
something new, they may reject it out of hand. All then that is 
accomplished is a group of people who speak badly when they hear "Fedora".

   Promoting a project means that you have to share the good and the 
bad. People have to have a realistic view of what the technology can do 
and where people might run into trouble. You need to help people 
understand what they gain from a new project and how difficult they 
should expect the learning curve to be. There is a good chance that the 
benefits do not (yet) outweigh the learning curve. In such a case, they 
are better to stay on the tools they know for now.

Hope this helps.

Do not know the reason by it fedora kiosk spin edition was discontinued,
but the same functionality can  to achieve with xguest package. So you
don't need anything more for install Fedora as a kiosk

For a kiosk, being able to disconnect on idle is a nice feature, you do
not want someone who forgot to disconnect from gmail to have his account
compromised if someone use the kiosk after. Ideally, having xguest
disconnecting rather than locking the screensaver would be a way to
implement this.


And usually, in a cyber cafe, you also want to be able to limit the time
spent on the session by disconnecting after a time, and display that
time to the customers.

You also want to let people connect only if they paid :)
