I've set up several kiosks using firefox and R-kiosk on top of FreeBSD for patrons at a local library. They have access to browse web pages and nothing more. You could even go so far as to edit the hosts file, use a proxy, or put them behind a firewall to restrict what sites they can visit (i.e. your webmail interface). cmh - -- Christopher M.
