Fine tuning Edubuntu

[Brad Thomas]

Would it be easier if I installed KDE and then ran the KIOSK for locking 
things down?  Sabayon doesn't seem to do what I'm wanting.  I tried 
using it, but was able to access Terminal, Network Servers, etc..

Previously, I had setup K12LTSP, and found it to be much easier to 
configure and lock down.  I was hoping Edubuntu would have the same 
tools, as I'd rather still with a Ubuntu machine than Fedora.
