Yes, I think it would solve the security problem.  However, I doubt that
missionary organizations are going to want to teach all their
missionaries how to use KDE with Mozilla and Sylpheed or Kmail.  Of
course, it depends on how their computers are setup as well.  If all the
computers that the team uses are at a central "base" somewhere then
sure, setup a linux firewall and then let them run windows behind it.
But if it is a single machine here and there then I think they would run
into the problem of lack of training actually using the machine.  Since
I've never taken part in a mission like that I couldn't say how they do
it.
