Région Picardie, 05 Novembre, 14.00pm
Le projet de la direction régionale de Pôle Emploi Picardie:
Fournir aux personnes en recherche d’emploi la possibilité de s’inscrire sur le site de Pôle Emploi ou accéder à leur espace lors de divers salons ou forums.
Les contraintes:
- budget limité pour l’achat
- logiciel compatible avec les ordinateurs portables destinés à cet usage
- possibilité de configurer simplement les sites autorisés selon les salons ou forums
Solution retenue:
Linutop OS est une solution économique à l’achat, et qui, exigeant peu de ressource systèmes (configuration minimum: PIII 800 MHz, 512 Mo de RAM), permet de recycler des PC difficielemnt exploitables avec la fin du support de Microsoft XP.
Linutop OS est livré avec le logiciel Linutop Kiosk qui permet de paramétrer facilement les sites autorisés selon les besoins de chaque salon ou forum.
L’intégrité des systèmes est garantie grâce à Linutop Lock qui permet de protéger le système de virus ou mauvaise manipulation de la part d’un utilisateur, ce qui évite des opérations de maintenance, habituellement indispensables pour des ordinateurs mis à disposition du public.
Une version de démo de Linutop OS demo, disponible en téléchargement, permettra à chacun de créer rapidement une borne d’accès internet grâce au logiciel “Linutop Kiosk”.

Picardie region, 20 Novembre, 14.00pm
The Picardie regional unemployment agency project:
Provide visitors at job fairs with the ability to sign up on the agency’s website in order to access their resumes or apply to an opening.
Project constraints:
- Limited budget
- Software compatible with recycled computers
- Low maintenance: ability to configure easily the limits of navigation authorised depending on the job fairs
Solution: Linutop OS is an inexpensive solution, which allows to repurpose a large panel of computers: the minimal system configuration (starting at 700MHZ PC) makes it very easy to recycle older PCs which would otherwise be hard to maintain now that Windows XP is no longer supported.
Linutop OS includes Linutop Kiosk which allows to configure the homepage in fullscreen without a navigation toolbar if needed and control the navigation through blacklists and whitelists.
The integrity of these systems is guaranteed by using Linutop Lock which can prevent the system from any alterations, whether by virus or user manipulation. This feature is key to avoid incurring ongoing maintenance costs that run typically quite high for computers in public space A demo version of Linutop OS demo, available for download, will allow each and every user to experiment with “Linutop Kiosk”.
