Hi i was just looking into software for Linux Cafe's (kind of) , i have found a few but none that does what i want. I need to limit users time online, set up printing queues and filter content. I was wondering if anyone could recomend anything? Thanks

not sure about limited time, but there is a great live cd (i.e. no corrupted filesystems when your clients screw up) called Kiosk Linux. Not sure too much about it but it might be a good starting place, esp if you can set up your own live cd from it (i.e. your filters and printing info)

can you filter from your access point/firewall?

Something Opera has had for a while (Firefox/Opera tease!), although you do have to pay it as part of the registered version.

See Opera Kiosk for more info.
