Review on Porteus Kiosk by Rod Evans

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The ideal OS for students to get used to using a Linux OS.

I like how easy it was for my class, teachers could easily configure their classroom computers without knowing anything about Linux at all! The program can be very cumbersome but once you get used to using your mouse more than one way things become easier (also there are many tutorials out in google!). A lot less technical knowledge required compared to other OS's such as windows/macOS etc., this makes porteus ideal if someone doesn't have much coding experience otherwise they would struggle quite heavily. There isn’t any real downside apart maybe some people find its interface too simplistic; however i think most students will enjoy learning something new by doing simple tasks through programs rather then typing them themselves - so overall great idea!.

Pros
  • It is also incredibly customisable allowing usernumerous functions eithout programming / scripting ability needed ! Great system that does everything we require!! :) Excellent software package!!!
Cons
  • At times not always intuitive or user friendly takes time getting into style when installing multiple applications simultaneously
