Server side includes? php? ...
2. why not do a knoppix remaster, similar to Volker's excellent
suggestion, but even less likely to fall over.
Best idea yet, although performance may suffer. However, only on
reboot/first acces of file, really. It'll take a load of work to get it
right, though.

As a plus, the terminal won't be connected to a network of any sort. So
cracking it won't bring any benefit but vandalism.
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".
