Puppy Linux has issues with the built-in radeon graphics on my old kiosk machine. When I run xorgwizard it comes out like I am looking through a REALLY dirty fish tank.

Puppy Kiosk Whitelist
A Whitelist is a list of items/sites that are allowed. A Blacklist is a list of items/sites that are Not Allowed.greengeek wrote:Just to clarify - will this kiosk allow usage of youtube, Facebook, and all the usual webmail sites? (as long as not specified in the whitelist)? cheers.
A Whitelist is by default more secure, because the person can Only go to the places you have specified.
A Blacklist is by default less secure, because the person can go Anywhere except for the places you have specified.
