Hello!

I'm setting up a few laptop machines as Internet-kiosks for a small café. The 
machines should run 100% Open Source (and be proud of it :)).

Any ideas where I could find a fairly complete software project? 

I'd rather not spend too much time tweaking it.. The first machine is a IBM 
thinkpad with 128 MB RAM, 500 MHz P3 processor and wlan.

I want a system that is:
-fast and easy to use for the customer
-secure and reliable (needs minimal administration)
-www-browsing is the primary use, and Open Source software demos would be a 
nice addition


I was thinking of a Debian system installed from some live-cd with good 
hardware detection + kde-kiosk, but is that really optimal considering the 
overhead KDE/XFree86 needs and the slow bootup Debian has?
