Suitability question

[Patrick Baldwin]

Usually I'm asking questions for work related things.  This one is more 
personal.
My father has this tendency to end up wrecking his computer if he uses 
the Internet
much.  Computers are basically magic boxes to him, so education is of 
limited usefulness
here.

I'm thinking I might be best of trying to built him a really 
locked-down, high security
box, almost an Internet appliance.  All he really does is use the Web, 
and a little
light word processing.

What do people think of FreeBSD as the base OS for this idea?
