Mac OS X Kiosk

Posted in Apple at 4:09 pm by Keith

I found a couple documents on how to turn an Mac OS X machine into a kiosk: Mac OS X labs, Apple Developer Connections.

You may be better off with KDE though.

Developers working in vertical markets (for example Education) have been creating kiosks or adding kiosk behavior to their applications for quite some time. Specifically, this means the ability to lock the user into a certain application or disable certain operating system functionality normally available. Developers requiring kiosk behavior on computer systems have often been forced to use “jury-rigged” solutions which often were quite hard to maintain in the long term. With the advent of Mac OS X 10.2, creating kiosks and adding kiosk functionality to an existing application has become much easier to implement and support.
