[WEB4LIB] Deep Freeze -- Comments?

[rhiebert at sd6.bc.ca]

I have been using DeepFreeze201 in my library for a couple of months (it was
tested elsewhere in our high school earlier this year). Students run Netscape
and Wordperfect, for the most part. So far, it has performed as advertised, but
I do not know how it works.

I've been promised that the next version we get will have a "thawed" folder --
one which will 'remember' changes-- a feature I will embrace.

DeepFreeze replaced Foolproof. Now Foolproof is more flexible (especially in
that you can turn Foolproof off without rebooting) but it is finicky to set up
and is certainly not foolproof (but good enough).

Regards,
Robert

I'm considering purchasing Deep Freeze for our library.  If you are
using it at your library would you share your experiences?  The
FAQ on their website says that it does not partition the hard
drive...where or how is it saving the orginal config information?
