# Bananian linux

Bananian Linux is a pre-installed Debian 8 image optimized for Banana Pi/Pro. It uses the official Debian Jessie armhf repositories with a kernel and bootmanager (u-boot), customized for Banana Pi.

A Debian 7/Wheezy image (Bananian 15.04) is also available and maintained.

We support the Banana Pi (M1, M1+,M2), BPI-R1 with just one single image.

The main focus is to provide a lightweight headless platform for home servers, small webservers, ownCloud hosting, Linux based wifi access points, router, NAS systems, monitoring devices, etc.
