[GRLUG] single use computer

[Patrick Goupell]

Check out the july 2014 issue of linux jounral article "Practical tiny

Obviously you will need to do a little bit of work  to set it up for 
your needs but it should point you in the right direction.  Or give you 
some ideas if that project does not work for you.
