Dear list, Custom Debian Distributions are getting en vogue: After Debian-Edu (Skolelinux) and Debian-Med, Debian-Office had been proposed.
Now, I bear this idea in mind: Combine too major tasks that pubs and restaurants need in one Distro: 1) use computer as media player: There are already companies that sell dedicated PCs to restaurants. Anybody should be able to beat their rates by using free software like Amarok. 2) use computers as cash station: More and more (good and bad) systems can be seen, most of which using touch screens. I've seen quite a few ugly and unhandy pieces of GUIs, however I think that this task is quite pretentious: - it must be stable and have backends to a database or even a cash line - it might be desired to handle credit card readers; some cash systems use cheap hardware (embedded). I'd advise to focus on 1) but also offer 2). The default screen saver should make some P.R. for gnu/linux/debian. In a pub, this will get some publicity ;) Regards Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
