Email and a Browser, To Go Please

[George Bray]

Gday Cluggers,

I'm curious to know if there's a turnkey installation of an OS, 
emailer and web browser specifically "tuned" for an educational or 
tamper-proof use.

Is there an install of linux that hides all the configuration 
complexity and superfluous utilities? No filesystem browser, no 
control panels, nothing to fiddle with. I'm looking for a "lintel" 
internet terminal really, OS and apps designed for robust longevity 
on an x86 platform.

Any ideas?

	tia, George
