What about "Thin Clients" on the manufacturing floor?
  How about a device with the footprint the size of a textbook, no moving  
parts, just a few ports for connecting monitor, keyboard, mouse,  barcode 
reader, etc., with a specialized edition of Linux, and just a  few programs, 
including Firefox browser, all loaded into some sort of  flash memory, which is 
only updated from a server?
  
  Low maintenance.
