There is actually a project for this:
http://www.edu.helsinki.fi/atk/ltsp_kiosk/
but in this case, there is no powerful server anywhere. We are using only old
laptops. So it has to be a local system.
If BeOS had good hardware support and it could run Firefox, it would be
perfect since it startups so fast and does not need any administration..
But now I need to find something based on Open Source..
