A student of mine built a kiosk on Mandrake 10.someting last year. It
automatically logins, only app is a kiosk hardened firefox. Can get you
more info if you like. There is a web server and FTP server running. You
can work out the details of how you do content updates. Another kiosk
built by the same student burns a CD with all the open source apps we use
plus a back up of students home drives :) Soooo clean.

The touch screens I have configured are serial mice :) :) works fine.
