What Happened To Chetna And Prithvi.

Cybercafe GNU / Linux, Part 1. Course

Hi Friends, I got an "Trabajito" for a friend who is mounting a Cibercafe based computers GNU / Linux .
Well, the issue is very sensitive especially in the Party "Economy, because what you save on licensing you can lose clientele. We know that the user great Mallorie Ciber this " Windomizados " therefore should follow certain guidelines or tips like these:

1. I recommend you only put 20% of your machines with a GNU / Linux, for that business. Well if you put all your machines with GNU / Linux some find difficulty with the file system is a little different from Windows, because it may decrease the influx of users and falling business.
2. If you are beginning to use GNU / Linux, you should hire someone to install and maintain your Ciber.
3. must install a proxy server (squid ) with control of content ( dansguardian )
4. Create an account called user or the like besides your own on each team (to be a limited account, can not manage the system-).
5. publishes The user account with which your customers access the system, you perform a backup to be restored on startup, this is so that if you change the desktop settings of an application (something that can cause many problems ), such changes will be reversed automatically when the equipment.
6. Set as home page in the web browser is a page explaining that GNU / Linux is a better choice than Microsoft Windows. As for Example:

http://www.obtengalinux.org/windows. Well


more or less these are the principles that have be taken into account "Convert" your Ciber with Free Software and Linux.

I'll make Postteando as the steps to achieve a functionality "decent" (I am very demanding and seek full functionality). need to create a work plan and divided into several parts, I have followed this approach:

1. Mounting Hardware (previous equipment budget).
2. Network Settings
3. Installing on Server Operating Systems and Clients.
4. Server Configuration.
5. Program Setup Time Controller.
6. Installation Program Management and Content limiting
7. Account Creation and assignment of user permissions.

As this will be my approach, the first, referring to the purchase and installation of equipment both server and clients differed according to their characteristics.

But going with teams that have between 512M and 1GB of Ram , 40 or 60 GB Hard Drive and motherboards that have integrated all components will be sufficient to avoid a payout very large.
To Server I advise you not skimp on expenses as it will "Soul" of the whole Web and the many aspects depend on the performance of our cyber.

In the second step, the creation of the Network, I recommend if possible according to local distribution, is to build a network topology types Bus.
network cables can be bought assembled or make them yourself (cheapen the cost), if you decide to ride the same stop by this Entry , explain the types of cable and the steps to learn the assembly.

Well, the third aspect, Operating Systems, I at first mount Ubuntu and I really think a lot of confusion among customers, then I had the idea to install the Distro that CiberLinux CiberLinux as you can see that is very similar to Windows XP even noticed some people do change. HERE have the Web from the creators of CiberLinux for you to learn better.






As you can see CiberLinux is very similar to Windows XP.







Fifth Step, Creating User Accounts you think is best limited accounts. Unable to install anything without the permission of a password, you could avoid many problems. Remember that when you are going to do critical tasks in GNU / Linux , usually asking for a password, also the huge problem that exists with the customers is that some are very curious about what as the saying goes "Prevention is better than .." .

Sixth Step to control the time and charge what we (neither more nor less, just enough) the best program I found via a relative of the owner who is from Argentina and the same program is CMB, here you can informar.Necesitaremos install Wine Emulator Software , to work, but the truth is the best thing I could find and free Free.

As Content Manager application will use DansGuardian in Version 2.10 , like CMB is also Free Software and Free

And finally, the support teams that we have with Windows systems because as I advise you should not deploy Linux without further hit. We will ensure that you can share files between clients and the server and at any given time between customers. Nothing

the first, second and fourth item is up to you, purchase of equipment for your party and watch it if you want to mount it on Google find various manuals to carry out this step.
Same with Network Configuration, look at Google to understand a little the subject of Network Topology.

And for the Installation of operating systems on computers for customers looking here (if you do not use and instead CiberLinux Ubuntu 8.10) and for the server, you may assist this issue, and I advise you to install Debian in Version "Stable" think its codename Stable says it all.

Then on the other issues I will create a dedicated input to each subsequent installation and configuration of each step, so that we understand it better.
Nothing tomorrow start all this "job" and I hope that you too can wear out and besides Promocionar el Software Libre nos Ahorremos unos "€uros" .

UN SALUDO.

PUDIO.
