Interesting that it is over UDP ... like OpenVPN.
OpenVPN is also worth looking into for similar persistent secure
connectivity applications.

Slashdot article:
"Adobe has released Flash Player version 11.2 with many new features.
This is the final Flash Player release for Linux platform and now
onward there will be only security and bug fix updates. Last month
Adobe announced that it is withdrawing Flash Player support for Linux
platform. All the future newer Flash releases will be bundled with
Google Chrome using its Pepper API and for everything else, 11.2 will
be the last release."

HTML5 to the rescue if you aren't using Chrome?

Hi everyone
Just came across WebConverger, a browser-only OS for web kiosks [1]:
http://h-online.com/-1492681
I wonder whether this could be something for libraries etc here in
Hamilton, etc, to provide internet-only access on public terminals?
Cheers, Peter
