[brlug-general] kiosk?

[John Ellis]

There is a Linux version designed for Kiosk that runs solely from CDROM and
therefore lessens the problems of Virus infections. It also starts up
running Firefox. The one I used was from a group that also has a K12LTSP
offering running with Redhat, but googling just now I found quite a few
listings.
