DistroWatch.com: Porteus Kiosk

Porteus Kiosk

Last Update: 2024-06-28 17:47 UTC

OS Type: Linux
Based on: Gentoo
Origin: Ireland
Architecture: x86_64
Desktop: Firefox
Category: Live Medium, Specialist
Status: Active
Popularity: 227 (27 hits per day)

Porteus Kiosk is a lightweight Gentoo-based Linux operating system which has been downscaled and confined to allow the use of one application only - the Firefox web browser. The browser has been locked down to prevent users from tampering with settings or downloading and installing software. When the kiosk boots, it automatically opens Firefox to the user's preferred home page. The browsing history is not kept, no passwords are saved, and many menu items have been disabled for increased security. When Firefox is restarted all caches are cleared and the browser reopens with a clean session. Note: Up to version 5.5.0 Porteus Kiosk was free to download and use. Version 6.0.0 and up require an on-line account to download and a paid subscription to activate.

Popularity (hits per day): 12 months: 244 (27), 6 months: 227 (27), 3 months: 212 (28), 4 weeks: 165 (37), 1 week: 155 (39)

Average visitor rating: 7.33/10 from 3 review(s).

Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)

To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.

Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.

Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

Deployed for customer's internet point, this distro is top notch:
Not only I could use 2 spare obsolete pcs we had laying around, but literally revived them.
The boot is fast, the ease of use is amazing, it's smooth and functional, barebone and locked down.
Having the configuration file stored in the network is a killer feature: if something goes wrong, just reinstall everything pointing to that file and voià!
I simply love it!
At home, I used it to revive an old netbook I had: boots up directly in Chrome.

version tested 5.3.0

Works as expected. The ease with which this can be deployed and configured is welcome. The updates bring Firefox up-to-date while locking the browser down very nicely. Deploying our own homepage and wallpaper during setup is a breeze.

Initial testing carried out within VirtualBox went without a hitch, as did the final bare-metal installation. Very pleased with this.

Seems old. Firefox is not a plus. Set and forget is a fail. Should be a winner in today's world, but sadly it is not.
