libKi is an integrated multi-platform kiosk management system. libKi is ideally suited for use in locations where a controlled computing environment is paramount such as public access systems, libraries, school computer laboratories and more!

The project now has it’s own dedicated site at Libki.Org

The administration system is web-based for easy use from any operating system, install once and use it anywhere on your network. The client runs on any operating system that has Gtk2 support, including Linux, *BSD, and Microsoft Windows.

libKi is written entirely in PHP. Though it is unusual to write an application of this nature in such a language, it is an ideal solution. PHP5 has a great object oriented interface, and it is easy to write clean, easy to modify code.

The client is written in PHP5/Gtk. It has been tested on Debian-based distributions using the KDE window managers. It should run on any OS that has Gtk support, though it does require disabling keyboard shortcuts such as alt-tab and ctrl-alt-delete. This is very easy to do using KDE.

The administration interface is written using the CakePHP web framework, making it very easy to set up and install.
