Hi, I'm running an internet cafe using Cyber Cafe Pro software. This software is design soley for Windows platforms. We're constantly experiencing problems with Windows with regards to viruses and stability issues. Recently, we lost all our data and had to re-install. May you please help us in flawlessly porting this application so that it can run on Linux both on the server and client sides. If this happens, it could mean an end to our nightmare with Windows! We have already tried Open Kiosk (which natively runs on Linux) prior to making my request. Open Kiosk is free but is not advanced enough to meet our requirements. For example, it can't allow us to control and charge for excessive bandwidth. We've done extensive research on what is available and so far Cyber Cafe Pro seems to meet all our requirements with the exception of running only on Windows. Hodoman works on Linux but isn't as advanced as Cyber Cafe Pro is. This is the reason why we are interested in trying to get Cyber Cafe Pro to work on Linux. Cyber Cafe Pro people aren't interested in assisting us with regards to porting their application to Windows. Regards Vulani Mabunda CEO Internet CAfe Jack South Africa
What you might wish to tell us is what exactly this software is and what it does. In that case, we may be able to help, either in setting it up or in suggesting an alternative, open-source option that you may not have considered, other than Open Kiosk. Another approach is to actually contact Open Kiosk, not only them, but the community that uses the software, to see if anybody has found a way to modify the software to meet their needs.
