Hi there!! Interesting work!!

A simple thing would be to lock the root account by deleting the password entry in /etc/shadow and not allowing the user to use sudo. May be you can work on SELinux to implement something like RBAC which is more secure. Also, you gotta change the run levels so that the user cannot get into single user mode from GRUB menu.

But have you given a thought about these?

1. Will a user be intended to reboot the system to boot into the Live media, just for browsing on the Internet securely?

2. The description on the site says the distro is secure because it's based on Read-only DVD. But this is not the fact. During the boot, the initramfs is loaded into the RAM and it acts like as if it's booted off a hard disk. You can still read/write once you boot into the OS (otherwise it would never work).

Anyways, it's a good effort in a direction people might not have thought of yet. So best of luck!
