porteus is a complete linux operating system that is optimized to run from cd, usb flash drive, hard drive, or other bootable storage media. it's small (under 300mb) and insanely fast which allows you to start up and get online while most other operating systems are left spitting dust. porteus comes in both 32 & 64 bit and aims to keep on the bleeding edge. it also supports several different languages and the user forum has language sections.
moreover, the porteus kiosk edition has been restricted to allow only use of the web browser. furthermore, 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 your chosen home page. the history is not kept, no passwords are saved, and many menu items have been disabled for total security. when firefox is restarted all caches are cleared and browser the reopens automatically with a clean session to ensure no trace of history is left.
