Locking down Ubuntu

[Zubatron]

So I recently turned my very old Toshiba Protege R100 into an Ubuntu machine running 10.04. I am wanting to give it to my 7 year old daughter for her to play games with and go on websites like nicktoons.com or disney.com to play games. My question is, is there a way to lock down her user profile? I want to be able to lock her out of almost every aspect of the desktop except the games section and Firefox. I know how to do this under Windows with the local and machine policies and was wondering if Ubuntu has something similar.

Please let me know, thanks!

Thank you so much I think this is exactly what I was looking for in terms of locking her down!

I would also recommend PublicFox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3911/)
