The projects listed have been documented over several years to build self-standing Web Browser Kiosks using the LTSP base
 
= Current Packaged Solution for ubuntu/LTSP with the --kiosk option by Oliver Grawert =
The [[https://wiki.edubuntu.org/HowtoWriteLTSP5Plugins|HowtoWriteLTSP5Plugins]] page describes the details of the current plugin for an ltsp Firefox kiosk. It is installed using an option that is included with the Gutsy/7.10 distribution:

ltsp-build-client --kiosk

There is a [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/163278|bug]] that needs to be fixed before running this command (on Gutsy as of 1/31/08)

= Other LTSP based Implementations =
The following implementation documents describe step-by-step methods that were used to build Web kiosks. They might be considered outdated since they use older versions of LTSP and browsers:
 * [[http://www.dnalounge.com/backstage/src/kiosk/|Diskless Linux Kiosks]] by Jamie Zawinski
 * [[http://www.edu.helsinki.fi/atk/ltsp_kiosk/|Linux-based WWW-Kiosk using LTSP 3.0]] by Matti Lattu
 * [[http://www.meadvillelibrary.org/os/ltsp.html|LTSP for Libraries Howto]] by Cindy Murdock

= Even More Implementations =
With a little bit of searching, you can find lots of Kiosk projects. 

 * Jim Massey of JTJ Software keeps the [[http://kiosk.mozdev.org/index.html|Kiosk Project Site]] with a page of [[http://kiosk.mozdev.org/kiosk-links.html|Kiosk project links]]. Some of the LTSP links above are included. 
 * Gene Wilburn of the Royal Ontario Museum has a widely replicated [[http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Kiosk-HOWTO.html|Kiosk HOWTO]] from 1999

= Additional Community Kiosk References =

https://webconverger.org/ is an opensource Firefox based kiosk project, based on Debian stable. [[PXE boot|http://webconverger.org/pxeboot/]] / LTSP mode of operation is not supported. Instead images are deployed by USB and optionally administered via a simple httpd configuration server that serves INI style configurations that are cached in the case the server is down.
