There's a Knoppix hack to create a Kiosk..... Not sure about the AD though...
I'll look it up and get back to you.....

Looking for a simple straight forward Linux distro that either runs in a kiosk mode or is specifically a kiosk distro. I don't need anything big like Gnome or KDE and would be just as happy running a simple window manager like BalckBox or something that. The project involves a system booting up and loading a webpage in mozilla. That's it! Hardware being used in a celron 700 and a D-link wireless card using the Aetoros (not sure of spelling) chipset. Lots of ram and HDD space so no worries there. WOuld like to find something that is "corporately freiendly" as it will be mixed in a Windows environment...oh and it would need to authenticate to an Active Directory environment... Stuff I have tried/discovered so far: * Ubuntu Live CD: Very clean environment but could not get WNIC set up. Might be different in install mode. Runs Gnome and is a little clunky and slow for what we need it to do. * KDE Kiosk Mode: I am aware of this but, again I don't need (or necessarily want) a big bloated window manager. * LTSP: Looking into this but we don't have a server at this time that it could be served from so we need the stand alone capability. * Found this little blurb for someone doing similar: /etc/rc.d/rc.init #!/bin/bash sudo -u user xinit shutdown -h /home/user/.xinitrc fvwm& sleep 5 /usr/bin/myapplication * Mini-Ditros: Thinking of DSL or something similar that might work. ANythoughts or ideas? I would appreciate any help or ideas any could offer.
