[edit] Mini

The Webconverger mini is a minimalistic browser-only system. It runs the Iceweasel web browser with a Firefox add-on that locks the browser to a simple operation mode. The browser runs in full screen mode with all menus, toolbars, key commands and right button menus disabled. The edition contains Adobe Flash support and PDF viewing by default and has a pre-set automatic network address detection by DHCP. An automatic update feature on bootup is enabled by default too. The mini edition is available for download as ISO and USB images.

[edit] Maxi

The maxi edition contains the mini edition plus extensive internationalization support for exotic languages like Chinese, Japanese and Korean(CJK).
