I read the quick description and discovered that it is a browser-only operating system. It has limited download capability and high customization during installation. It automatically wipes the web browser of items when it is restarted. Plus it runs only on 64-bit architecture with 512MB RAM. This is a streamlined operating system, useful for a public computer at a library or hotel lounge. It is maintained and is updated by the developers. | I read the quick description and discovered that it is a browser-only operating system.

- | I read the installation documentation and downloaded the ISO image. You can not use Unetbootin or Rufus to burn the ISO to a thumb-drive. I used Windisk32 Image and it was successful. The Porteus Kiosk Wizard populates the screen. You first have to establish an internet connection. You can connect using WiFi; however this was troublesome for me. I choose the wired connection. After establishing the connection, I could choose Firefox or Chrome Browser. I choose the Chrome Browser and it began downloading. I am very familiar with the Chrome Browser due to my Chromebook. I then could configure the Kiosk. I went with the basic default options. | + | **I read the installation documentation and downloaded the ISO image.

After installing the ISO, it updated. | The kiosk screen then pans towards opt-in or opt-out for an upgrade subscription.

- | The user is then taken to the final GUI. In the lower left hand corner the following icons are available: Chrome browser, Gmail, Google Docs, Google Drive, and Local File Folder. This icon layout is similar to my Chromebook. I am sure Firefox has the same icons. The background is the Porteus Kiosk Logo. The system is responsive and fast. I would not call this a true Linux workstation. However it is ideal for instances where a public computer is needed. An IT expert can configure Porteus to be used to its full potential for the corporate environment, | + | The user is then taken to the final GUI.
