The main reason the kioskcd setup was used here is because we found out that
the company is responsible for the proper protection and use of information
stored on the internet access pc's. Including any creditcard details that
might be in a cache or temp file. So the cd solution was the best as nothing
is kept. It only has firefox on it, if you close firefox it reopens if you
kill x it restarts x, and if you some how really balls it up you just
reboot. It can also load settings and the homepage and bookmarks from a conf
file on another server at boot which is nice.
