Subject: [OPEN-ILS-DEV] Suggestions for locking down OPAC computers

 

Around our libraries, we have multiple catalog computers designated for
patrons to search the catalog. 

 

We have GPOs in place for them so that patrons cannot use them as their
own personal surfing computers, but the GPOs don't always take effect OR
some of our computers are too slow to handle it!

 

One thing I have thought about is putting a stripped down Linux
distribution on them.

 

Any suggestions?
