[OPLINTECH] OPLINTECH Digest, Vol 95, Issue 2

[Tim Burns]

Dear Braintrust, 


Are there any OPLIN libraries that have moved away from (or not been there to start with) Microsoft Windows? In light of the virus-free MacOS, and inexpensive Linux and derivatives, it would make sense to give consideration. (At a Clevnet Tech meeting -- folks (Wayne County I think) were explaining some of the linux kiosk software and other utilities they use.) 


Sincerely,

I have recently came across a dilemma that we are having with the staff 
computers at our central library and the branches. Even though we let the 
staff browse on the computers where they would like to we're still having 
trouble with the staff computers becoming infected with spyware and viruses 
with Microsft Security Esstentials installed. I know this is a good free 
antivirus, but it isn't doing the job anymore. Currently I have Trend Micro 
Worry-Free Business Standard Security at my residence and have no problems 
at all. Was wondering what all of the other IT people are setting up on 
their staff computers to keep them clean? 

As a side note, our wishlist is going to be due to try to get extra 
equipment for the libraries. Was wondering what printers and wireless 
routers people have gotten to upgrade theirs recently. Currently we just 
have Cisco Linksys WRT54G which has a very poor coverage and distance from 
main unit is pitiful. Just want to say thanks for all the feedback given for 
this and have a great weekend. 

Thanks again, 

Fred Miller Jr
