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
