Subject: Re: [AZC] Linux-Based Web Kiosk
I personally am curious. I am not sure how automated i would make it off
the cuff. Unfortunately my ideas would have a sharp learning curve because
i would make webmin an alternate "switchable" admin interface. moving to
something like puppet or chef i think would be a better long run solution
for administration (which is what i would really have to learn to make use
of).

I also think that Debian might be a solid place to start. I think this is
personally colored by my preference for Deb package management, and in this
case I do not want to deal with any issues going back to Ubuntu changing
something. Although if you wanted a supportable option they might be a good
place to start.

Looking at JeOS might be a good place to go, OpenSUSE stripped down to bare
needs and then you build up what you want. and you have their stability.
but for ease of maintenance looking for a distro that has your preferred
management interface might be the best option.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
