Sabayon provides the ability to lock down GNOME and any GNOME app, in
addition to Firefox, and Openoffice.org. Also, you can restrict access
to certain features by setting some GConf keys. I believe GNOME has a
system administrator's guide which details exactly what is possible
and what their recommendations are.
