The concept is to build a Kiosk that will only allow a user to browse one website. The goal is to get the user to sign up for the newsletter.

Requirements

  • Can be fixed by an admin over the internet
  • User can only browse one website
  • User cannot change the settings or edit other parts of the computer

Hardware

  • ASUS Eee Box EB1021-B028E Desktop PC AMD Dual-Core Processor E-450(1.65GHz) 2GB DDR3 320GB HDD Capacity AMD Radeon HD 6320 Window 7 Home Premium 64-Bit

Software

After a quick search it seems that Ubuntu has been used alot for the Kiosk OS. Their are numerous lockdown guides to securing the OS for a Kiosk. It looks like Chrome, Firefox, and Opera can all be used for the browsing.

Process

  • Install a LTS version of Ubuntu
  • Update System
  • Install ubuntu-restricted-extras
  • Create kiosk user account via gui
    • Remove all user privileges via gui tool
  • Install Firefox
  • Install Reset Kiosk 0.4
