Make a guest account that people can login to, and check mail, surf web.

Every time the guest account logs out, its purged so next user who login is a clean fresh account.

Mac OS X has this;

Developer comments
A guest account is now offered in Intrepid! In the fast-user-switcher in the desktop top bar, select "Guest", and here you are!

A center of Welcoming is a necessary tool for new users. Here you perform the main tasks and configure your desktop soon after the installation standard.

It would be very good that the next Ubuntu has this facility. The Ubuntu is a success among new users and many of them do not know that the possibilities included in the center of welcome there.

I hope that my idea at all like. I have developed a new mockup seeking to improve understanding of my mind. Thanks for the tip brettalton.

Develop a competitor to Flash/Silverlight  
Written by Thelasko the 30 Jun 08 at 21:10. Category: Internet & Networking. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
For years Flash was the only way to embed multimedia in a website. Microsoft is now trying to enter the market with Silverlight. The Open Source Community should do the same. An open standard needs to be developed for embedding multimedia into websites, so both content providers and users aren't locked into one vendor.
