Pyrate 5 Software IMG instructions
Disclaimer
This is an advanced experimenters machine IMG with powerful pre configured software, with the potential to generate a lot of bandwidth traffic when exposed to external internet and publish content to public mount points including LIVE radio and TV transmitters. Default Administrative passwords are all enabled. Recommend separating and isolating this behind a firewall until you are 100% confident what it is doing.
*** Using this software and IMG is 100% at your own risk ***
