Interesting project. But at least for now, the scope of DeCaf will be
quick and simple setup. If you want own home directories, you might want
to check out Skolelinux. It is originally meant for schools, but the
setup they provide (integrated LDAP user management, thin/think clients
etc.) is also close to what Internet cafes need.

On the other hand, after the simple variant of DeCaf is working, we can
probably generalize it to suit these needs as well.

Greetings,
Joachim
