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. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -via: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/07/create-ubuntu-kiosk - -作者：[Joey-Elijah Sneddon][a] -译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) -校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) - -本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创翻译，[Linux中国](http://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 - -[a]:https://plus.google.com/117485690627814051450/?rel=author -[1]:http://thepcspy.com/read/building-a-kiosk-computer-ubuntu-1404-chrome -[2]:http://thepcspy.com/read/converting-ubuntu-desktop-to-kiosk/ diff --git a/translated/tech/20140801 How to Create an Ubuntu Kiosk Computer.md b/translated/tech/20140801 How to Create an Ubuntu Kiosk Computer.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..0999dd477e --- /dev/null +++ b/translated/tech/20140801 How to Create an Ubuntu Kiosk Computer.md @@ -0,0 +1,40 @@ +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.
