The eyeOS community is working and we’re all together continuously creating new documentation and tools for eyeOS 2.x. We’d like to present you today the two new Installation Guides for Windows and Linux published by Kefa Rabah, from the Global Open Versity, Canada.
The first part of the document will show you how to step-by-step install your brand new eyeOS 2.x server in two different Operating Systems. The second part of the document is a small a manual which explains and shows how to start working with eyeOS and which are the first steps. Just combine them and you have everything you need to set up and start running your own eyeOS envrionment!
