Purging after use still leaves you with stuff on disk, which could be
frustrating or possibly open all sorts of exposure issues (if the
system resets nightly, what about the pr0n some teen left in ~/ for 16
hours?). Purging ~ after logout + some sort of auto-logout on idle
would be better. I've never had to do office + browsing, but non-user
owned ~ + firefox + R-kiosk keeps those error-messages at bay. Not
sure what OpenOffice support you'll find.
