Not a huge deal... 10 just came out...

This is actually looking like a better option considering that Kiosk for
Linux will be delivered with the next release.

Don't do it.... it's very slow and kind of a mess. From the Download
page for the Java client...

"Additionally, the Java Client applet must be installed on a web server.
End-users should not attempt to install the applet directly onto client
machines."

Basically it's an embedded applet, not stand alone, this means that each
user will have a browser running as well.
