Customizing Ubuntu

[Matthew S-H]

Just an idea.  It would be nice to compile a list of features that 
would need to be disabled to enable a "kiosk" mode.  Maybe in the 
future (Hoary + 1), there could be an option to enable a "kiosk" mode 
for a specific set of users.  This might attract a lot of niche 
businesses/users that might not want to deal with the current (and 
rather expensive) alternatives in the Windows world.  For example, my 
younger sister can somehow mess up ANY computer (I don't get it at 
ALL), and it might help to make a kiosk account for her.

Again, just an idea I'm throwing out.  Either way, I think Ubuntu is 
awesome!  Certainly better than Windows, and possibly better than Macs.
