Hi Everyone. I seldom post but do learn from being on the list. I have been using linux for 3 1/2 years and mostly simply mepis for the last two. I'm an old guy and live in a retirement community and recently set up a five station system (I did the work). Four of the stations use winxp and are locked up except when we are having classes (our computer club). The other station is running simply mepis with firefox and the public only has access to the keyboard and mouse and is supposed to be used by residents to surf or get web based email. We also have a wireless setup inside a steel box so the range only covers our clubhouse and it gets a lot of use by our winter residents who have laptops.
My problem is with the mepis system because someone will shut the system down even though I have taken all the Icons off the desktop except firefox so whoever does it has to make an effort and it isn't just a mistake. What I would like is the system to boot up into firefox and if they exit firefox it would start up again in 10 seconds. I don't even know if this is doable. Any ideas? TIA Maury
