How to Create an Ubuntu Kiosk Computer
================================================================================
**Linux distributions can be as feature-packed or as stripped back as needed, powering anything from inner-city signage to city council desktops.**
It’s this versatile, almost malleable quality that has made Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, so successful in so many diverse areas.
### Kiosks and Single Purpose Computers ###
One of the more popular uses for Ubuntu is in **kiosk-type computers**. These devices tend to run a stripped down or limited version of the OS, only allowing **a single application to run**.
Kiosk computers can be set up to provide transient or passive access, and are ideal in internet cafes or any situation that calls for a machine with only certain features — such as a web browser — accessible by users.
### Making an Ubuntu Kiosk ###
But how do you go about creating such a computer? Well, save your Googles. Linux developer Oli Warner recently published a pair of articles that walk through the creation of single purpose setups using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Google Chrome.
The first of his guides starts from the ground up, using Ubuntu server and a handful of packages to create a lightweight combination of X and Openbox running Chrome on boot. The install takes up less than 2GB of disk space and requires a mere 512MB of RAM to run.
- [Building a Kiosk Computer from Scratch][1]
The second tutorial comes at the process from the reverse, walking through the steps needed to transform an existing Ubuntu desktop install into a lighter single-purposed variant.
- [Convert Ubuntu to Kiosk Computer][2]
Neither guide is for the faint-hearted, but are simple enough for most intermediate-level users to follow. Follow the guides to get a functional setup, but don’t be afraid to strip out further packages and processes or double down on security, especially if intending to use an instance in a public space.

如何创建Ubuntu信息端计算机
================================================================================
**Linux发行版可以作为全功能打包，也可以按需分解，驱动了从市内标示牌到市议会桌面系统在内的所有设备。**
正是这种多样化，几乎可塑的质量，让Linux发行版，包括Ubuntu在内，在众多不同领域如此成功。
### 信息端和单功能计算机 ###
Ubuntu更为流行的使用之一，是在**信息端类计算机**中。这些设备趋向于运行功能剥离的，或者功能有限的OS版本，只允许**一个单一应用运行**。
信息端计算机可以设置提供短暂的或者被动的访问，对于网吧或者对于任何要求只有特定功能——如网页浏览器——可以让用户访问的机器十分理想。
### 构建Ubuntu信息端 ###
但你会怎样来创建这样一台计算机？好吧，保存你的Google。Linux开发者Oli Warner最近发布了两篇文章，介绍了使用Ubuntu 14.04和Google Chrome来创建单一功能的设备。
他的第一篇指南从零开始，使用Ubuntu Server和少量的软件包来创建一个轻量级的X和Openbox的组合，开机启动Chrome。该安装需要最多2GB的磁盘空间和仅仅512MB的内存来运行。
- [从零开始构建信息端计算机][1]
第二篇教程反其道而行，一步一步介绍了将一个现存的Ubuntu桌面安装转变为一个更轻巧的单一功能的变形版本。
- [将Ubuntu转换成信息端计算机][2]
Neither guide is for the faint-hearted, but are simple enough for most intermediate-level users to follow. Follow the guides to get a functional setup, but don’t be afraid to strip out further packages and processes or double down on security, especially if intending to use an instance in a public space.
两个指南都不是给那些胆小的新手的，而对于大多数中级水平的用户而言却是简单易行的。跟着指南来获得一次实用的安装体验，不要畏首畏尾，大胆去剥离一些深层次的包和进程，或者加固安全吧，特别是如果想要在公共空间中使用一个实例。
