An 8-machine Internet cafe running Slax or Xubuntu Linux, booting from the CD-ROM drive. Disconnect the harddrives to save power and bother. You can get second-hand 15" LCD screens for around £30 each if space is a bit of an issue. -- David Hicks |

![]() | You could also setup one as an Asterisk server using Asterisk Know. With the other 7 put one in your room, the server room & the ICT rooms. Connect a USB phone and use a softphone, to connect to the asterisk and there you have it you will have a makeshift VOIP service. Unless you have VOIP already. Of course you could use SIP Phones |

Blog Entries: 12 Rep Power: 33 | Turn a couple into print servers, use the others as a internet cluster with a basic linux OS and a web browser. Makes use of them in some way I suppose! |
