1. Baculum Ubuntu/Debian packages

Preparing Baculum to use from bacula-gui source archive requires going
through a few steps as manual web server configuration, PHP installation
with dependencies, setting up authentication to Baculum. These actions
may need a few attempts and may take a little time.

For this reason, we have prepared Baculum binary packages for
Ubuntu/Debian distributions. Packages are available in Lauchpad.net
service here:

https://launchpad.net/~ganiuszka/+archive/ubuntu/baculum

Please note that it is an unofficial repository nevertheless the repository
is maintained by Baculum author.

2. Baculum online demo version

You will find the Baculum online demo version available here:
