You could configure certain DEs in a kiosk mode. I don’t know much about it, but it reset the session and user to a default at every log off, he could track usage time, do all sorts of remote session management.
If you search for Linux for classrooms there are probably a couple projects still around.
I’m sorry, I didn’t go into it back then. And we’re talking like 15 years ago. He doesn’t even own the cafe anymore (what with smart phones and all), was a repair tech for a while, and now I don’t know, we lost touch.

That’s so cool. What kind of remote management does he use?
