1votePCPAC is a PCLinux2007 reconfigured for safer use and designed for public access computing. PCPAC allows office functions (OpenOffice.org), browsing (Firefox), mMedia (Amarok and Mplayer), instant messaging and VOIP (Skype). * Several applications or programs not advised for PACs have been removed, e.g. email clients are removed, web email is, of course, allowed. * Firefox has been hardened so that there is not intersession memory of sites or forms entries. * VOIP so students or other users may be in touch have been added. * The system boots into user/user automatically, minimizing staff involvement. * Shutdown and Restart icons are prominently displayed so staff can easily manage the system. * An Update Notifier has been added to minimize the staff involvement with updates. Automatic, daily updates will be done soon. * The firewall has been configured to a more hardened state. * Caches have been minimized and are cleared, or eliminated, wherever possible. * User History is cleared on browser shutdown.

Until recently, lack of commercial support made implementing open source unfeasible for libraries without an IT staff. Also, open source alternatives weren't perceived as scalable or feature-rich enough to handle the complex needs of most libraries. Now, commercial support has facilitated new levels of collaboration between libraries through sponsored development.
