Comment What ever happened to netpod? (Score 1) 166
This reminds me of the netpod project. They had
any article in Linux Journal a few years back
discussing their pay/use internet terminals. I
checked out their system Summerville, MA and it
was pretty decent. Unix/X/Linux is well suited
to this application, because they are so customizable. X with the appropriate window manager can be dumbed down so the user doesn't get into trouble. Plus a custom look and feel can
more easily be accomplished, than with other systems.
I believe given a stable browser Linux would make
an excellent web term.
