Hello:
If you have to contend with a threat of vandalism, then it doesn't matter
what kind of PC or operating system or software you are running. To protect
a publicly-accessible computer from a person inclined to do physically
destructive things, then it would seem that your only option would be to
encase your kiosk with steel and provide a very tough membrane type keypad
and also install video cameras, like the banks do with their ATM machines.
A great advantage of using Arachne at a public kiosk is that it will run
very well on an inexpensive vintage PC. If someone does vandalize the kiosk,
then the damages incurred would not be as great as you would otherwise suffer
by setting up a modern pentium running the latest Windows software.
Good luck on your proposed project. We would all like to see it go forward.
