  1. Tamper-proof web stations on Thin Client Solutions For Libraries? · · Score: 1

    I've beenehaving fun with the bootable Linspire Live CD http://www.linspire.com/ (used to be called Lindows). It looks and smells like Windows XP, but if Linux based. It includes Mozilla, OpenOffice, etc. The main virtue is that it's entirely unbreakable. It runs directly from the CD, making it impossible to corrupt it, infect it, or damage the OS in any way. The downside is that it can't easily be customized. But, after booting, you could always walk up to the machine with a Flash drive and run a script to apply your organizations customizations to the copy runningin memory.
