Porteus


I've been a fan of Porteus, Slackware deriviative, for several years and had recently been using their kiosk version.

Seems quite a hard statement to make or have they been hacked?

Does anyone have any more information.

Thank God, Porteus website was online again. I needed it badly. The internal harddrive of my old laptop crashed, but thanks to Porteus on USB I now can still use the machine.
