Introduction
Mandriva Kiosk Lite is open for testing. All Silver and above Mandriva Club members are invited to participate.
If you wish to help us test Mandriva Kiosk Lite, please read the following instructions that will inform you on the procedures.
Description
First of all, a brief introduction on Mandriva Kiosk and Mandriva Kiosk Lite:
Mandriva Kiosk is a web-based one-click software installation Service.
Designed to be the easiest way to expand a Mandriva Linux distribution, it provides fully-functional software bundles that users can browse, choose and install from the Web. Bundles are in fact a selection of software packages, bundled and tested by the Mandriva team, that form a consistent application. Examples are KDE 3.5, Mozilla(tm) 1.5 Pack (with Firefox and Thunderbird), or Commercial Drivers and Plugins. Kiosk will be available to Club Members (silver and above), and as a subscription service. Commercial details are yet to be announced.
Mandriva Kiosk Lite is the first milestone on the road to Mandriva Kiosk v1.
Available to Mandriva Club Members (Silver and above), it'll offer the latest versions of popular software. We're hoping to launch the Lite service next tuesday, april 11, and incrementally implement new functionnalities until we reach v1 (no estimated date for now). New bundles are on the road, and we're open to suggestions.
