Porteus 3.0.1 發布，Slax的社區改造版本
Porteus是一份快捷的、便于攜帶的、模塊化的自啟動運行光盤及USB介質發行，它基于Slackware
Linux。該發行始于一份Slax的社區改造版本（另一份基于Slackware的自啟動光盤，但已不再維護），以KDE
3作為i486版本的缺省桌面，并以裁減過的KDE 4作為x86_64版本的桌面環境。此外還提供輕量級的LXDE可作為替代桌面環境。
The Porteus Community is elated to announce the release of Porteus
Desktop Edition 3.0.1, as well as Porteus Kiosk Edition v3.1.1! As usual
we have available prepackaged modules for Google-Chrome, Opera,
Libreoffice, Abiword, Skype and printing/scanning software, which can be
dropped in place to get out-of-the-box functionality! The "Development"
module will now need to be downloaded as a standalone module if you
wish to compile additional software in Porteus.
This is a bugfix and security update release only so there are no new features included. Portus 3.1 rc1 will be released in early October.
We would like to give a big thank you to our community for helping to reach our hosting targets which ensure the continued development of Porteus.

Porteus Kiosk Edition 3.1.1:
This is bugfix release which looks after wizard related issues and some critical kiosk bugs which were discovered up to date. New features, as well as kernel and userand updates (including latest mozilla-firefox-31.0 ESR) are not included in this release but are available in the automatic updates channel for those who are willing to subscribe to this service.
once kiosk is fully booted delete unneeded and potentially risky for the kiosk stability utilities like 'wget' or 'dd'
disabled 'Shift+left mouse button' combination to prevent opening new firefox windows when clicked on hyperlinks. This binding is especially dangerous when the navigation bar is disabled as there is no possibility to close any windows in this mode. Multiple firefox instances could slow down the kiosk or even make it unusable- disabled
'Ctrl+Shift+h' keybinding which displays firefox history menu (nothing
there as kiosk runs in 'private mode' by default)
- disabled 'Ctrl+`' keybinding which allows to display previous kiosk notifications
- export SSID as 'ssid_name=some-name' in the welcome wizard otherwise wifi networking wont be initialized
always put wifi interface up before scanning for available networks
Alt+Ctrl+Del combination will kill only previous instance of the 'kiosk shutdown' utility and not every gtkdialog application (like e.g. welcome wizard)- display wpa password and wep key on the welcome wizard config page
- fixed non working hidden wifi SSIDs
added empty and non-executable /etc/rc.d/rc.local which can be used for running cli commands during boot
attended to fix a rare problem with md5sum mismatches caused by proxy which are caching and serving old kiosk components instead of letting the client download fresh ones from our server. If md5sum problem is still not fixed then please contact support@porteus-kiosk.org for guidenance.
