Easy Installation

It makes sense to dedicate a computer (real or virtual) as a photo server.

In that case, use Easy Foto Box:

• A collection of pre-built configuration files and installation scripts
• Works with Debian, Ubuntu, gNewSense (pretty much all versions)
  Adaptable to other distros
• You install the minimal OS, then download a small shell script that:
  1. Installs and configures all necessary packages
  2. Downloads and installs latest Photo Album Manager

• You answer a few prompts and it's done.
