Hello all. I work for the Newton Falls Public Library as Systems
Administrator. I’m very strongly considering using Edubuntu on the
public computers here. I have already switched to OpenOffice and
various other open source applications…. but the machines still run
Windows as the OS. My main concern about switching to Linux is that
with Windows, I can lock down settings such as web browser
configuration, desktop backgrounds and such so that patrons can not
tamper with them. I’ve been using kubuntu on my own computers for some
time now, but have not found a way to configure it similarly. If
anyone can offer insight on this, the advice would be most appreciated.
Thank you

If you run kubuntu you could use kiosktool to lock down your desktops.
You could even run edubuntu + kubuntu-desktop.

By the way: hello everybody, this is my first post. My name is Rodrigo

interested in humanity to others, so in ubuntu and edubuntu too. I hope
I can give back to the comunity.
