Webconverger can be deployed by a live CD in about two minutes depending on the machine. This is the primary method for deployment as it is the most common type.
Though, there are also other deployment methods such as a USB stick.
Since Webconverger is designed for for just Web applications. Compressed mini images are typically about 200 megabytes in size. Webconverger aims to get smaller, not bigger.
Webconverger has a very minimal “setup” and uses sensible defaults and features, usually defined in a boot menu.
By default a deployed Webconverger has no preferences you can set and is designed to be “locked down” so users can’t accidentally change things. This makes Webconverger much easier to maintain compared to other operating systems. It also makes Webconverger an excellent choice for sharing amongst people.
Deployment options
Since USB boot is poorly supported by older machines, CDROM images will probably be the main deployment medium.
- usb
- iso
- netboot - currently unsupport by default, though a customisation option nonetheless
From either medium, an option to install Webconverger will be given in the near future.
Notice Webconverger Web applications can leverage the rich capabilities of Firefox with SVG graphics and the default fonts.
