So, a charity we're involved with has a stand at the upcoming 
Christchurch Food and Wine show. Assuming that I can source some 
hardware (anyone?), I'd like to set up a box to allow visitors to browse 
for information on a local copy of the group's website.

I'm happy enough with setting up Apache or similar on localhost, but 
could use some advice on:
- an appropriate browser environment that users can't close or alt-tab 
out of (something like the setups for internet caf� machines, perhaps)
- enforcing http only (i.e., preventing users from browsing file://)
- other security issues I should consider

Cheers,
Roy.
