Hi John,

Thank you so much for sharing!

You shared ...  Below is an exported list of installed software ...

But, I didn't see that list on the digest version of the messages I get.

Can you pls privately email me that list?

When have you found Zoho Unattended Access to be most effective?

e.g. when patons are using library web site sources remotely (from home)?

We generally are asked by patrons to look over their shoulders as they use
publish PCs to work in Word, Excel, Publisher, etc.

There seems to be a puch-back from administration about offering open
source software on our public PCs.

Is there any built-in vulnerability with open spruce software as long as
you download it from the developer's site and not some mirror site?

Why would GIMP male the library's public computers more vulnerable to
badware than MS Word?

Thank you!

Charles.

Our public access computers have Below is an exported list of installed
software
multilanguage support (English, Spanish, German, Italian and French) and
there's even an Ubuntu virtual machine available through Oracle
VirtualBox.  Below is an exported list of installed software.  For some
reason, Vivaldi doesn't appear.  I've eschewed having Chrome on our
computers in favor of Vivaldi which can have Chrome extensions installed.

One other software addition is to be Zoho Unattended Access
<https://www.zoho.com/assist/unattended-remote-access.html>.  That will
allow staff to easily gain remote access to a public computer if a patron
needs assistance.  It also supports a number of management features, file
transfer and video, voice & text chat.  For contact-less support, it seems
to be our best option.
