That would be my proposal. Any one who wants to use it can install it on one of their PC's running inside IPFire's protection. It seems that most distributions have a copy of it in their repositories. Only 100% windows users would not be able to use it but as you mentioned there are lots of web based equivalents that cover the basics.

Adolf.
