Yep, the problem is that I wouldn't want someone running netcat or nmap on one of the public workstations. I realize that nothing is %100 secure, and that if they wanted someone could install to the ramdisk, but I was just thinking it would be cool to make a kiosk knoppix that we could pop into the public access machines with only a browser, office suite, and maybe a few educational apps. Knoppix just brings us one step closer to a bullet proof public access workstation.
I've havent tried morphix yet, but I'm addicted to Knoppix. I've handed out more copies than I've kept.
