abeNd-orgms does have pretty good lock-in with public libraries, they almost all use deepfreeze to manage the patron machines & cassie or something like it (patron management system) - none of which support a linux desktop. plus the price that they do pay through techsoup.org is pennies...hard to go linux if what they want to do cant be doneOct 05 15:11

oiaohmHaving a local harddrive that is bios writable only takes creatively to work out how to get there. abeNd-orgOct 05 15:32
abeNd-orgoh i know deep freeze is not perfect, but it is better than just giving a patron a plain windows workstation (even if they are not local admin & the machine is running AV).Oct 05 15:33
oiaohmLinux system network share read only or hardware write protected ie livecd or physical locker is far better.Oct 05 15:33

oiaohmCurrently no.Oct 05 15:46

abeNd-orgall the libraries i work with care deeplyOct 05 15:47
oiaohmTechically briding the userdatebases would be possible.Oct 05 15:47
abeNd-orgthey are far too busy to maintain multiple user lists when everything should tie to their library cardOct 05 15:47
oiaohmFunny enough lot here scan library card and create user when they first pay into the cafeOct 05 15:49
oiaohmAnd have it set to auto terminate user completely when there money runs out.Oct 05 15:49
oiaohmSo intergration has not been a big worry to them.Oct 05 15:50
oiaohmBoth systems take care of themselfs quite well.  Also have the advantage of not screwing up just because 1 crashes.Oct 05 15:50
oiaohmThere is such thing as over intergrating.  abeNd-orgOct 05 15:51
abeNd-orghere the integration is crucial, especially with small town library consortiums where everyone uses the same back end ILS system, patrons can go to any library in the system & sign into a computer or check out a book using a library card from any library in the system. if you took integration away from that, it would be unworkableOct 05 15:52

abeNd-orgif you talk to a librarian they wont accept a solution that does not have 100% functional ILS integration like the windows solution has, sorry to say, but they dont care what OS it runs on, as long as it does what they wantOct 05 16:05
oiaohmProblem is I have talked to librarians.Oct 05 16:06

abeNd-orgkaspersky business space is what a lot of them use around here & it has linux supportOct 05 16:09

abeNd-orgyes, but it is running & infecting other machines, possibly even the non-patron machines on the networkOct 05 16:09
oiaohmunder 20 second reboot time.Oct 05 16:09
oiaohmits standard policy for every machine.  abeNd-orgOct 05 16:10
oiaohmBar the serverOct 05 16:10
abeNd-orgso you still need local AV in hopes to catch that stuff & stop it in the first place. sure a reboot will fix that local machine, but that virus is now tagging staff computers & people who brought their laptops inOct 05 16:10
oiaohmAnd the server does scan user files.Oct 05 16:10
oiaohmIe rebooting only leaves one location for the virus to live.  abeNd-orgOct 05 16:11
oiaohmStaff computers don't have storage in them.Oct 05 16:11
oiaohmFile server is scanning.  abeNd-orgOct 05 16:12
abeNd-orgif it spread, especially to staff computers (they need to spend their time working, not rebooting to clear a virus) or laptops brought in by patrons...Oct 05 16:12
oiaohmSo yes anti-virus only for file servers.Oct 05 16:12
oiaohmReally issue here file servers run nothing.  abeNd-orgOct 05 16:12
oiaohmNormal users don't log into them.Oct 05 16:12
oiaohmIt would have to be a exceptional virus to root kit them.Oct 05 16:13
oiaohmAnd I do mean a 1 in 10 year or longer event.  abeNd-orgOct 05 16:13
FurnaceBoyi would use disposable environments/ snapshots. malware never gets stored, period...Oct 05 16:13
oiaohmClient side anti-virus can be defeated.  abeNd-orgOct 05 16:13
oiaohmMy system will not be defeated any of the normal ways abeNd-orgOct 05 16:14
abeNd-orgok ok, point taken with the disposable environment.Oct 05 16:14
oiaohmAlso remember reboot also means any update the server has done to image since the last time they run gets pushed out.Oct 05 16:16
oiaohmSo its closing down secuirty weaknesses in the clients as well.  abeNd-orgOct 05 16:16
abeNd-orgi guess i would just have to see how well this would work in "real life", if patrons could login with their ILS information & printing/etc was still tracked then it would suit the needs of the libraryOct 05 16:17
oiaohmReally it should be possible to join the user databased of a internet cafe software and the ils if someone puts in the effort.Oct 05 16:18
abeNd-org*that* is the sticking pointOct 05 16:18
abeNd-org*who* will put in that effort?Oct 05 16:18
oiaohmBut I really don't have any need to.Oct 05 16:18
oiaohmThink about it the system I use works.Oct 05 16:18
abeNd-orgnot me, i am not a programmer, not the librarians as they are not programmers, but it is functionality they have now & would continue to desire for future usageOct 05 16:19
oiaohmSo I have no reason to mess with it.  No viruses no out of date machines.Oct 05 16:19
oiaohmGoing to a single login system would mean I would have the case of a single point of failure to bring house down.Oct 05 16:20

oiaohmA pair of them.Oct 05 16:21
abeNd-orgim not arguing that your system doesnt work, my main thing is the ILS integration, which you said no one is working on, so thats the end of it, as according to the librarians i work with lack of that option that would be a deal breaker (and why they havent seriously considered linux up to this point)Oct 05 16:22
oiaohmPer location.Oct 05 16:22
oiaohmabeNd-org: that is part of the issue I was having.Oct 05 16:23
oiaohmOnce they saw how the system would and does perform they changed there mind.Oct 05 16:23
oiaohmParticularly how responsive correctly setup Linux machines are abeNd-orgOct 05 16:24
oiaohmMissing out on that little intergration feature was offset by how fast the over all system would respond.Oct 05 16:24
abeNd-organd since the microsoft office webapps seem to work on linux, people cant complain that they arent able to open their files on linux :)Oct 05 16:24
oiaohmopenoffice was on the clients and I was lucky the libraries here could not afford MS Office for the internet cafe area.Oct 05 16:25
oiaohmTurns out if you read the fine print cheep version could not be used for machines used to make profit. abeNd-orgOct 05 16:25

oiaohmThe fine print was nasty.  You could run and charage classes on it.Oct 05 16:27
oiaohmBut you could not run a internet cafe with it on or be selling internet access.  abeNd-orgOct 05 16:27
abeNd-orgright, that wouldnt be considered a not-for-profit hereOct 05 16:28
oiaohmThat is the catch here.Oct 05 16:28
abeNd-orgmost public libraries offer all their services for free, other than overdue books & charge you for printing/faxingOct 05 16:28
oiaohmHere wants to be able to charage for internet usage time.Oct 05 16:29
oiaohmAs well as printing.  abeNd-orgOct 05 16:29

schestowitz[What do you call an exchange n00b? AN exchange student.]Oct 05 16:48
abeNd-orgoiao I am a consultant as well, i consider it "network janitorial work"Oct 05 16:48
oiaohmI have many demo systems that I can display there windows plans.Oct 05 16:49
oiaohmAnd my plansOct 05 16:49
oiaohmNice having a 20 machine lab at my disposal for demos.   abeNd-orgOct 05 16:50
abeNd-orgnot a fat VM system?Oct 05 16:51
oiaohmI guess you are not setup like that abeNd-orgOct 05 16:51
oiaohmI mean a real room 20 + real machines.Oct 05 16:51
abeNd-orgi dont have the physical boxes, just the fat VM systemOct 05 16:51
oiaohmThat I can do what ever I need to in front of client.Oct 05 16:52
oiaohmTo demo the weakness in there plans. and to let them attempt to pull my plans apart.Oct 05 16:52
oiaohmIts funny watching some of the smart ass MS people find them selfs in a scary location.Oct 05 16:52
oiaohmWhere its put up now on this demo network.Oct 05 16:52
oiaohmA fat vm system does not have the means to have the people sit at the new setup and tell you want is wrong.  abeNd-orgOct 05 16:54
oiaohmNote the consoltants in my area share the lab.  abeNd-orgOct 05 16:55
oiaohmThe lab means in my area most MS people see Linux systems and don't rip out walk away.   Because they know the bosses here will expect before deployment demos.Oct 05 17:00
abeNd-orghere "no one has the time" for anything like that (because they are too busy playing with ifart apps on their iphones)Oct 05 17:01
oiaohmMind you the lab does turn a profit in its own right.  abeNd-orgOct 05 17:01
oiaohmIts side use is lan gaming venue.  abeNd-orgOct 05 17:02
*gnufreex has quit (Remote host closed the connection)Oct 05 17:02
abeNd-orgniceOct 05 17:02
abeNd-orgive seen some places like that around here, usually just pure lan gaming, but they usually go out of business, even in the college townsOct 05 17:03
oiaohmThey usually go out of business because maintaince of the hardware is not done.Oct 05 17:04
oiaohmOr costs too much abeNd-orgOct 05 17:04
abeNd-orgor they were run by lazy college students. same thing with coffee houses around hereOct 05 17:05
oiaohmYep.Oct 05 17:05
oiaohmThe consultants brings rules and maintainer ship to the lan gaming system.Oct 05 17:05
abeNd-orgthat is a big helpOct 05 17:06
oiaohmThe lan gamers bring cuts of tordorment wins.Oct 05 17:06
oiaohmAnd ongoing member ship fees.Oct 05 17:06
abeNd-orgguessing you have to do windows for some games, since the likes of halo & such that seem to be so popular are only on windows (or xbox)Oct 05 17:06
oiaohmYep.Oct 05 17:06
abeNd-orgbootable usbkey for that?Oct 05 17:07
oiaohmAnd windows servers for some games.Oct 05 17:07
oiaohmThat network has stacks of drives different combinations.Oct 05 17:07
oiaohmIts a demo space so yes it gets beaten up abeNd-orgOct 05 17:07
oiaohmGamers and us the hardware has a hard life.Oct 05 17:08
abeNd-orgi was thinking of doing some lan gaming at one library that has 7 new amd64/4gb machines (newly donated)Oct 05 17:08
abeNd-orgnot like i have the time to make that a reality on my own :)Oct 05 17:08
oiaohmStrict rule no food or drinks anywhere on the machines.Oct 05 17:08
abeNd-organd a "you must shower the morning of" rule too?Oct 05 17:09
oiaohmWe have a 2 meter food and drink exculsion zone.Oct 05 17:09
oiaohmNo in building shower cold water only.  abeNd-orgOct 05 17:09
oiaohmYou turn up stinking you will be going in if you like it or not.Oct 05 17:09
abeNd-orgheh, that is one nasty computer-person stereotype that is too trueOct 05 17:10
abeNd-orgheh, that sounds like a scene out of a prison movie...Oct 05 17:10
oiaohmSo far no one of the consultants has had todo it yet.Oct 05 17:10
oiaohmThe hot water system busted 8 years ago.  abeNd-orgOct 05 17:10
oiaohmSo far no one has paid for it to be replaced.Oct 05 17:11
abeNd-orgi wish i had some other like minded folks around, but I live out in BFE, where it seems im one of the fewOct 05 17:12
oiaohmIt took us a while to get all joined up here.Oct 05 17:13
oiaohmI am of to beedOct 05 17:13
abeNd-orgive tried dealing with the "local" user groups, but those are usually 50+ miles away & in traffic that could be over 90 minutesOct 05 17:13
