There cafes are with 10-15 computers.
OS:-  Fedora Core 6 & Ubuntu 5.10
Main Work:  Browsing, chatting

Apps Used:
For Browsing: Firefox
Chatting: Gaim


Still in these cafes are not providing much with Webcam or voice chat , and 
now they are looking applications for that.
And other thing they are missing is the games :(

Bad News: Some of the cafes moved to Cable DSl provided by WEBEL, and their 
connector program(crclient) is not working in these versions of Linux. so, we 
lost few of the cafes. Anyone knows how to use that ?

Cafes only with DSl connection from BSNL are in good position(may be 2-3).
