Euronode is a set of Debian GNU / Linux distributions, which transforms in a few minutes a simple computer into a high performance server or firewall installed and configured !

Built on the basis of Debian GNU / Linux Woody Release 2, Euronode includes most of the essential tools, without any superfluous software !

Euronode scripts automate the process of installation and configuration : auto-detection of devices, partitioning and automatic installation, auto-configuration of the system and services.
