It's rare to see some truly interesting ideas in Linux distributions, as most seem content to just remaster Ubuntu with a different theme. Therefore, we at OSNews are always interested in fresh and interesting distributions that try to add something of value to the landscape. One such distribution is xPUD, a fast-booting, kiosk-like distribution that uses the Mozilla Gecko Runtime to display a simple user interface that allows you to launch normal desktop Linux applications.

Seriously ... I used to set up a three-page menu system using QuikMenu 4 on my Win95 boxes when I brought them over for LAN parties. One page was the public Games page, and that had panels for the various games we wanted to play, one contained some simple applications like Netscape, an e-mail client, some graphics programs, etc., and the third was password-protected and contained the "real" desktop stuff I wanted to install but didn't want anyone else to have access to.
A screenshot of a PC I still keep configured in this way is here:
