Ubuntu Kiosk?

Hello,

A local school is interested in trying out Linux. I will setup a room 
with thin clients running from an Edubuntu server. I just have one 
concern: Last year I did this with another school. I setup a single user 
account which all the students shared. This worked alright except for 
OpenOffice. If two students started OpenOffice the second one would see 
an error saying that OOo was running. I never found a solution for this.

I'd like to setup something Kiosk-style. I don't want to hand out 600 
user names and passwords. I have no idea how to setup a thin client 
Kiosk. Any suggestions? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Cheers,
Daniel.
