- Latest version: 2.0 – includes new wallpaper and easier, fully automated install process.
- Installation is done trough the run_installer.bat file.
- Packaged as downloadable ZIP archives.
Other Concepts
kikkeli Corporation has also explored projects like the “kikkelijuhla Internet Service”, though currently it is only in a primitive stage, in the form of a hotspot running occasionally on a phone.
