Oh my god, people like this are on Slashdot?!
First of all, I will say that Deep Freeze is definitely a solid solution...when it's not hacked. The old Win98SE boxes at my high school that used Deep Freeze could be EASILYcompromised using Deep Unfreezer http://usuarios.arnet.com.ar/fliamarconato/pages/e deepunfreezer.html. According to the author of that program, it works on XP too.
Since the PCs are XP boxes, I would highly suggest setting up a group policy server (either WinServer 2003 or a free Linux setup like Samba).
Even better, use Linux. (No sarcasm intended). The majority of kids haven't even heard of Linux, let alone know how to use it. They'll have to figure out how to even open a web browser in Linux first before they try any screwing around.
If you have Firefox 1.5.0.7 for Windows, you will probably want to uninstall it first, delete the Program Files/Mozilla Firefox directory, then download the FULL Windows Nullsoft installer and reinstall. With the different installers, you probably want to avoid conflicts between the two versions.
First of all... YAY!! that FF2 is already available. I am using it to write this comment.
Second of all... I didn't notice the download link was to the English-Great Britain version. I didn't notice until I saw that the Bookmarks menu said "Organise" instead of "Organize". Then I had to go through the hassle of manually "updating" to the EN-United States version. Is Slashdot English?

I believe you mean Kepler, not Fermi, in the story title.

Geez, who needs a screen that's at least 10"? I mean, WEP cracking doesn't take up that much space!
