I have been planning to operate a small internet cafe business and i would like to know if there is an operating system that allows me to install it in multiple computers.

If you are running an internet cafe you will need the customers to support your business.
About 90 percent of the people that use computers understand and use Microsoft Window. About five percent use MAC. The other 5 percent are using other operating systems, including but not limited to Linux.
The odds are in your favor to use Windows and get the majority of the customers. I know I would not be a patron if you did not have Windows or MAC.
This is my help from Washington, DC, United States of America.

You should use linux, Ubuntu is the best option, it's easy to install, free and user friendly. It's has a nice interface, and it's really easy to learn how it works. You should give it a try.
Why choose Ubuntu besides it's free. It doesn't have virus or spyaware like windows, many people are going to use those computers so it's better if you protect them from virus installing a operating system that doesn't have any.
All the software available for Ubuntu it's completely free and compatible with any other distribution of windows or even Mac.

Linux is the most stable operating system and it is free.....but it is harder to use than microsoft windows however it is not that difficult to learn.....it is very good against keeping out viruses, you can customise your desktop the way you like and also have a 3d cube in a 3d background where each face of the cube has different applications running......to install it just copy the files onto a cd and it will take approximately 35-45 mins....
It has word, exel...similar to Microsoft products....

Ubuntu Linux is free from:
It's much like Windows, Includes Firefox, Open Office, etc.
Then, go to http://www.sourceforge.net and look for FREE Internet Cafe software that you can run on a Ubuntu server.
