<p class="MsoNormal">I think this was covered a bit not too long ago, but I’m wanting to see how many libraries out there are using Ubuntu on public computers/catalogs. Also what has your experience been with them? I’m looking at using some retired XP computers
as catalog Kiosks and run Ubuntu on them. Thoughts, comments?<o:p></o:p></p>
