Perhaps I misused the word "kiosk" and was not clear describing the role of the nodes. They will not be on my network. They will be on someone else's network (some other company, or some other organization). The nodes will be providing network services (Custom databases, accessible through a browser), sometimes some ldap services.
Again, the people around the machine should use it as intended, no one should be able to steal/mount the disk to dump data (at least not easily)

Yep - best to go this route. Look at something like   http://www.ltsp.org/
We use it here for our inernet kiosks (along with Opera in kiosk mode)
and are pretty happy with it.
