ChromeOS can be considered a kiosk distribution. Nothing runs on it except a browser and "in the cloud" applications.

hi
Kiosk distros are interesting for schools, libraries or internet caffee for instance.
Even if they are often secure by default.
LPS is a security focused distribution, not a kiosk one.
Chrome OS, as far as i know is available only as an embeeded OS on Chromebooks http://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/devices/
The OS turned to Chromium open source OS http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os
As a more easy to try kiosk solution, Cr OS Linux appears more interesting

As Linux world is a rich world, can also be mentioned Browser Linux, InstantWebkiosk or Xpud.

Linux kiosks are a little bit popular now in France with Linutop

And there is of course ways for each one to build his own kiosk, if we consider that Firefox for instance can be customised with specific add-ons like RKiosk https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/search/?q=kiosk&appver=&platform=

But if the goal is to reach a high level of security, then this requires more than a simple kiosk...

mack_guy911, are you just looking in general or after a specific configuration ?

Its very easy to configure most distros to launch one specific app as the xsession, auto login, disable extra tty etc.

You could have /home mounted read only or if you want a functioning general purpose desktop then you could do what livecds do and configure the system to utilise tmpfs and mount /home to it so that nothing from the user is written to disk.

Cheers, Nick
