to restrict anyone's freedom to do what they want with a machine. Some

The easiest (if not perhaps the cheapest) solution is virtualisation.
Use VMWare ESXi/VMWare Server/Xen or Qemu. Alternatively if you have
more cash, run VMWare Workstation which includes the ability to record
the state of a machine and then play it backwards to track down
especially tricky bugs.
If 'cheap but ok' is the overriding factor, you might want to investigate a

Windows or OS X, but *nix usually has less problems.
Checking this out is left as an exercise for the reader, however.

Hi,
Anyone here using OpenBSD/macppc knows if its possible to enable more than
