Pessulus is divided into 4 parts, General , allowing us to configure access to the command line, printers and the ability to save files. Panel , where you can block access to applets and controls such as blocking off and restart the computer. Browser , allowing us to configure all the properties that can change the user's browser Gnome Desktop , which controls user sessions.
