I wasn’t taking notes at the beginning of the Porteus project, so I don’t have details on the process of burning the downloaded Porteus program onto a bootable USB drive. Neither seemed to be quite what I was looking for, unfortunately so after working through this post, I returned to other approaches discussed in the other post. As discussed below, I would also wind up taking a brief look at Webconverger. Softpedia said that Webconverger was supported only on 32-bit systems.įor such reasons, I decided to go ahead with Porteus. (Neither seemed to be available at MajorGeeks or FileHippo.) The Softpedia reviews (by users and editors alike) were noticeably stronger for Porteus. For instance, the downloads available at Softpedia dated back to 2019 for Porteus but 2016 for Webconverger. Between the two, I got the impression that Porteus was being more actively maintained. Sources listed in that post led me to understand that, at least for ordinary users, Porteus and Webconverger had been the dominant choices for at least the past decade.īoth were open source. As detailed in another post, I was looking into software that would let me boot an old computer as a secure browsing-only kiosk.
