Desktop or Kiosk Mode - Which One
Posted: 14 Apr 2014, 21:34
I am trying to figure out what the best version of Porteus to use.
I am building kiosks that will be sharing a networked printer (at a fixed IP address) and each Kiosk will have a USB label printer attached.
My requirements are for the browser to start each time the system is booted.
I would also like to have the entire OS in memory (not use the hard disk) and boot from a USB
Do I use the Desktop version or the Kiosk version?
My understanding is that the Kiosk version does not include printing support. If I use the desktop version, I can include the printing subsystem but then I need to modify it so that Firefox starts up automatically.
What would you recommend?
Many Thanks
