[vox-tech] Linux Kiosk Distro

[Thomas Johnston]

The last link that Alex sent looks like just about perfect:

http://www.alandmoore.com/blog/2011/11/05/creating-a-kiosk-with-linux-and-x11-2011-edition/

The blogger seems to make the same point that Tony did: instead of worrying
about an absolute lock down, periodically copy all your default
profiles/scripts to erase any unwanted tracks.


Thanks for the suggestions!
