Hello Everyone...

X terminal from a linux server somewhere, with no window manager and opera as 
the browser with a custom security profile.

You can also use xscreensaver to run a clean/clear script everytime it times 
out.


Don't use windows. It's a) overkill b) harder to lock down c) requires 
licences.

This type of setup is used at Sydney airport to great success.


Kind regards
