    I would like to develop a small browser application for a company
    Christmas lottery.
    The application would basically be a browser with a mysql database
    backend where employess can enter their personal information. The
    browser should be the only application a user has access to.

    I do not want any employees (logged in to this dummy account) to have
    access to any consoles or additional applications. I basically need to
    lock down the system since the information will be stored (encrypted)
    locally on the pc. I would like to disable hot keys and soft reboots. I
    would only install a bare version of linux with os firefox and
    mysql(no: desktop files, start menu, logoff button).

    I have already taken care of physical security for the box(locked).

    Any help/advise would be appreciated
