We've been using Opera in kiosk mode running as the shell... it works really well, 6yrs in production. I use an .xinitrd config file to launch opera instead of gnome with the following commands: #! /usr/bin/env bash exec opera -k -nokeys -kioskbuttons -kioskresetstation -nomaillinks -nomail -nomen

If all they really need is a web browser, you could install firefox and a window manager, say, xfwm4, in the chroot and write a screen script that launches it on boot. If you make firefox the foreground application, then if it is closed, xinit will cause X to restart and launch back into firefox.

Alex, If all you wish to provide is a Web browser simply launch a Web browser when the user logs in and provide nothing else - no desktop, menues, etc. A nice lightweight WM like IceWM would do. You can have a "master" firefox profile that is copied every time Firefox is launched to res
