As its name suggest, Porteus Kiosk is a special edition of Porteus GNU/Linux designed to be deployed in kiosks and other similar machines, and version 4.1.0 is the first point release to the major 4.0 stable series announced at the end of May 2016, bringing many updated components and applications. The biggest new features are the upgrade to the long-term supported Linux 4.4.19 kernel, as well as Mozilla Firefox 45.3.0 ESR (Extended Support Release) and Google Chrome 52.0.2743.116 web browsers. Of course, it also contains the latest security patches release upstream. However, the most important change is the availability of two new variants of Porteus Kiosk, namely Cloud and ThinClient.
