DiscoverStation is a desktop Linux distribution
specifically designed for kiosks, Internet cafes,
and public access computers. The software also
includes Userful's unique "Desktop Multiplier"
software that turns 1 PC into 10. Desktop settings
can be easily managed via session profiles which
are created and stored via a central Web-portal.
This lets you customize, update, and view usage
reports for hundreds of desktops at once. Key
features include time management, revenue from
pre-paid cards, Internet filtering, privacy
protection, automated clean-up, print-job costing,
and much more.

Changes:
This release fixes an issue with language selection not working reliably. It adds a friendly warning message when OpenOffice is not installed. It prevents a second scim applet from starting (and subsequently crashing admin programs). An issue with DiscoverStation-init hanging on boot has been fixed. In discoverprint, the patron notification function has been adjusted to avoid a possible buffer overflow. A problem where the system would boot to a black screen has been fixed.
