intro: |
  **Furtka** is an open-source home server OS.
  Boot from USB, click through a wizard, and any old computer
  turns into a private cloud for your household — with your own apps,
  your own name on the network, your own data.

  The goal is simple: **your dad should be able to set this up.**
