Porteus Kiosk 4.1.0 Released, lightweight Linux operating system

Porteus Kiosk 4.1.0 Released, Porteus kiosk is a lightweight Linux operating system that is based on Gentoo Linux but is limited to allowing only one application to run as Firefox web browser. The browser is locked to prevent users from changing settings or downloading and installing other software. When the system starts, it automatically calls Firefox and opens the user-selected Start page (Basic tutorial qkxue.net). The browser does not save history or input passwords, and many menu features are disabled for increased security (Tengyun technology ty300.com). Firefox empties the cache every time it restarts, so that each time the browser launches is a history-free session.
