Would it be easier if I installed KDE and then ran the KIOSK for
locking things down? Sabayon doesn't seem to do what I'm wanting. I
tried using it, but was able to access Terminal, Network Servers, etc..
Previously, I had setup K12LTSP, and found it to be much easier to
configure and lock down. I was hoping Edubuntu would have the same
tools, as I'd rather still with a Ubuntu machine than Fedora.

1. I have 2 nics in the server. One connects to the main network

to be able to access my network. How can I do this?
there is no routing by default, you wont be able to get access to eth1
from the client hardware unless you enable ip forwarding on the
server... the users log in on the server though ... so they will indeed
see the interfaces of the server from their sessions/desktops, if you
want to restrict access to the outside world for them you'll need to set
up firewall rules with iptables or a tool like firestarter, even though
i'd recommend a separate firewall thats not running on the server
2. I am trying to figure out a way to remove applications from the menu
that the clients will not (and should not) have access to. I guess I'm
looking for a KIOSK that will work with Gnome. Any suggestions?
we have sabayon in edubuntu for this case, but note that you need to add
every user to a profile, else they wont be able to log in (thats a bug
that will be solved in edgy)
