First, these two kiosks are not thins.  A distro is loaded on the local 
drive.
There is not a new app here,  just a web browser and web pages.  Use what 
ever web technology you wish ;)  We use mostly PHP and plain old HTML.  A 
nice FLASH navigation buttons would work.  The idea here was to be able to 
reproduce the setup for other kiosks and updaye them remotely.
Stay tuned I will gather the particulars.
