What desktop manager for a business
Posted: 2011/12/18 22:43:49
Hello everyone,
Our small company is looking forward to move to Linux, and our first choice is Centos.
After some testing that we have made, it seems that using VNC Server, with Clients connecting to it, is working great.
However, I need to enforce some users policies, regarding their desktop.
I first tried KDE + Kiosk. It seems to work fine on Centos 5.3 but not on 5.7. Some settings are not being saved, like for example the logout widget.
Here is my question :
Is there any kind of desktop manager that come close to a windows solution in terms of user's policy. Like for example, do not allow the user to add icons, or modify the panel, ect.. ect.. ?
We need to deactivate pretty much anything a user could do except launch an application through an icon, logout, and save/print files.
I could not find any Kiosk forum, and i haven t seen any website showing other than a documentation, on Kiosk. It seems to me that the development has been stopped.
For obvious reasons, we do not wish to start using packages that are not being followed any more.
