Let me ask a treacherous question. You want some computer for browsing some web pages stored on its disk, and you want everyone to be able to do it. Computer boots and launches web browser by itself. This needs to run for a few days at some provate place with semi-public access. Are you going to be around? Can someone boot a CD on that box? How about forgetting all about that $SECURITY. Sure, anyone can trash the box. Sure, anyone can get their ding dings trashed for it too. Recovery is as simple as: boot CD, cat somefile >/dev/hda, sync, push reset button. Or if you prepare a suitable CD, execute these instructions automatically. Give the CD to a few people there, and tell them "just boot this".
