It's clean web-kiosk software. The technical underpinnings of it are great for security including using a gitfs meaning everytime it reboots the filesystem is restored to prestine state as well as much thought in making vectors of exploitation weak. Usable as a general web-terminal or digital signage/kiosk.

What is Webconverger?

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.
