<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><font face="Verdana">Our public
computers run Linux, and they reset themselves using a script
that dumps the settings at night and restores them from a clean
version. It's a pretty easy setup that I'm happy to share, if
anyone is interested. Using Linux has dramatically decreased
security issues on our public computers.<br>
