[BozemanLUG] Linux web kiosk distro needed

[Jeff Sharkey]

Chromebooks are dirt cheap, and are essentially just a Chrome browser.
 Through web fonts, they support any custom fonts you need.  They have
a built-in PDF viewer, and can print using Cloud Print.

My primary laptop at work is an Core i5 Chromebook, and I love it.  :)
