I run an ubuntu powered internet cafe for a small town in country
Victoria.  They are currently running Hardy on 3 P4s.

I have an NFS server which stores all the home directories, the machines
automatically login after 15 seconds.  Accounts are stored in LDAP to
make it easier to swap machines out.

Some of the files are marked as read only.  I still need to do more work
lock things down, but overall it works well.  They used to have at least
an issue a week when they were running XP, now there is something minor
for me to look at once or twice a month.

Cheers

Dave
