Hello, all!
Ok, I work for a company that is needing some computers setup to allow the users to take their in-services. We would also like to limit it so that users don't just go in there and use it for shopping while on company time.
Anyway, I thought of the idea of setting up a computer with a Linux Kiosk distribution.
What we are looking for:
Fast startup on old computers (could just pull an old one off the shelf and load it up with the OS)
Limited use, as in cannot do anything other than going to the in-service website
Starts up without a desktop... when you start up, it opens up a browser and takes you directly to the website.
An easy-to-setup distro. We solely use windows here, so neither of us have much experience with Linux (I've had just enough experience with Linux to know that I would really prefer a pretty much pre-setup OS)
Would STRONGLY prefer it to be free.
Any suggestions?
