Webconverger v3.4

Web kiosk/terminal, that is easy to deploy and secure.

Webconverger is an evolution of the hybrid client for deployments in places like offices or Internet cafes where only Web applications are used. It is developed under Debian.

Unlike thin or hybrid clients, Webconverger is faster and more responsive by providing a Web browser that runs locally.

Rationale

Entrepreneurs are not developing for the Windows or the Linux desktop, they're developing for the prevalent Web API platform.

Likewise users are not checking their email with Outlook Express anymore, they're using Web applications such as Gmail or Yahoo. This is Web convergence.

That leads us onto a problem. How does an IT manager roll out the Web platform? We probably have to deal with fragile pre-installations of Windows and battle to get Firefox on each machine. Then the hopeless battle to maintain that system from viruses, spyware and the looming costs of a Vista update.

The answer is Webconverger.

Webconverger is simply a Web kiosk/terminal, that is easy to deploy and secure. In most cases all you need to do is boot from a CD. That's it! A usable up to date Web browser that just works.

The Web, just the Web and only the Web.
