Webconverger is a Linux-based operating system designed by Kai Hendry to be used solely for accessing web applications, first released in 2007. It is based on the Debian distro and is live, being able to boot from various media like a CD-ROM and a USB flash drive, and can be installed on a local hard drive. Webconverger is an open source project and has its own public git repository. Webconverger is pre-compiled to run on any x86 hardware so far. It does not have high system requirements and will also run on older machines.
Webconverger is typically used in Web kiosk and digital signage deployments. It runs the Iceweasel web browser (based on Firefox) with a customised window manager dwm and a Firefox add-on also named Webconverger that locks the browser to a simple kiosk operation mode. The browser runs with most menus, toolbars, key commands and most right button menus disabled. Webconverger contains Adobe Flash support and PDF viewing by default. Both wired and wireless networks are supported via DHCP. There is also support for internationalization, including CJK input methods.
