[wplug] Lightweight Linux Kiosk

I am trying to resurrect one of the old laptops I have for my kids to play
pbskids games.

The laptop definitely isn't new but it is respectable.

Dell Inpsiron e1405
Core 2 Duo T5600 @ 1.83GHz
1GB of RAM (can go to 4 but I'd rather not spend money on a ancient laptop)


Besides the usual wireless snafu, the thing is just dog slow. It crawls
when doing more than a single application. The graphics are slow. I could
put on a different display manager.

Thoughts?
