Short on funding and IT staff, a Western Canada library struggled to provide adequate public computing resources. Staff turned to a Linux-based solution that supports up to 10 users from a single computer, and blends Web browsing and productivity applications with session management, Internet filtering, and user authentication. In this article, the author discusses the problems they encountered such as securing the operating system, file system, and user account configurations, as well other issues they had. Here, she discusses how she discovered DiscoverStation, a Linux-based public access solution, and how it saved them from downing in work. (Contains 3 figures.)
