It does not have high system requirements and will also run on older machines.
Comments and Reviews
It's clean web-kiosk software. The technical underpinnings of it are great for security including using a gitfs meaning everytime it reboots the filesystem is restored to prestine state as well as much thought in making vectors of exploitation weak. Usable as a general web-terminal or digital signage/kiosk.
