KioskCD is a Live CD that provides trouble-free Web access.

Here are some key features of "KioskCD":
Provide trouble-free Web access — with a CD-ROM! No hard-drive needed!
Your PC boots from the CD and a web browser appears — that's it!
Use wherever you want to supply Web access to people, without worrying about what they will do to your computer.
Currently being used at places like: a hotel lobby, skydiving center bar-and-grill, retirement home library, wine-country b&b, hospital employee lounge, ad agency, etc.
No other programs or menus are available to the user. Users cannot change the configuration. Cannot be infected since it's a read-only CD. Always reboots to same state. If you have a hard-drive installed, it is ignored by KioskCD.
Upon booting, KioskCD automatically configures a network connection, using standard DHCP. Or use a static IP (v2.7).
Perfect solution for waiting rooms, cafes, schools, events. Get a spare PC, put in the CD, and the job is done.
Keep your regular OS on your hard-drive. Then you can either boot from the CD (for web browser only) or from the hard-drive (to use your computer as usual).

What's New in This Release:
Static IPs
Custom hosts file, for restricting sites
Idle timeout
Skip NTP time set
Bypass proxy for certain domains and IPs
Firefox 1.05
and many internal improvements.
