Webconverger is a discontinued[3] Linux-based operating system designed solely for accessing Web applications privately and securely.

[6] LWN.net reviewed Webconverger 12 in April 2012 with following words:[7] By "kiosk" usage, the project means something rather specific.

The examples listed on the project's commercial support page include unrestricted environments like libraries and public gathering spots, plus businesses with more specific needs (like retail banks or doctors' offices).

In all cases, it is important that the user's private information be wiped as soon as the session ends, and that the kiosk cannot be altered to change browser or OS settings.

The expectation is that with any sort of problem, from a power loss to a browser crash, the system will reboot quickly into a known good state.Softpedia Linux also have a review of Webconverger 35.1:[8] It is ideal for public places where the need for guest computers or thin clients is a must, such as libraries, Internet Cafes, tourist information centres, and even banks.
