Yep. :)

It's pretty easy to minimalize the menus in KDE, and then lock it down
with Kiosk permissions.  It might just make sense to wipe and reset the
user account after every logout, so that even if Joe Random User comes in
and fiddles with everything, there'll be a pristine environment for when
Jane Doe comes up to use the box.

LiveCDs are, of course, totally immutable, but that'd require a reboot
between every use.
