+
+  <p>You can prevent users from being able to access the command-line through
+  virtual terminals and terminal applications by in three areas:</p>
+
+  <list>
+    <item>
+      <p>Prevent users from accessing the
+      <keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>F2</key></keyseq> command prompt.</p>
+    </item>
+    <item>
+      <p>Disable dropping to a virtual terminal (VT).</p>
+    </item>
+    <item>
+      <p>Remove <app>Terminal</app> and all other terminal applications from
+      the <gui>Activities</gui> overview in GNOME Shell. You will also need to
+      prevent the user from installing a new terminal application.</p>

+        <p>We have yet to cover removing a menu item in this guide. We don't
+        want system admins having to modify .desktop files as those could be
+        overwritten on system update.</p>
