   	Well, it worked for all the free public internet booths here.   
   Until some governors decided to replace it with Windows. System has   
   been down in Sao Paulo for a month. You take the bribe, you pay the   
   price.   
   	How "bright" do you have to be to use a browser, email,   
   OpenOffice, a PDF viewer/generator etc and press a print button when   
   you need a hardcopy of anything ?   
   	PS Linux system ran on a bootable CD, was rebooted whenever   
   someone had finished with his/her terminal. No   
   keyloggers/malware/password utils survive a reboot.   
   	The hospital I worked at also used Linux. Secretaries and   
   nurses were "trained" by looking over someone's shoulder when they had   
   nothing better to do. Zero cost.
