I will take a look at the freecode site you mentioned. <br><br>They kiosk will be used to access the internet. I am not too concerned with restricting what sites that they visit. Rather, I want to prevent permanent damage/corruption of the host computer. <br>

</div> You can start with something like Ubuntu Minimal. And then<br>
add only the packages you want. It is very light weight.<br>
If you know Debian, think netboot. While it installs everything<br>
over the network you end up with a very simple CLI version of<br>
Ubuntu which you can build up your OS from there.<br>
<br>
Note Minimal is not a server install.<br>
