Node images

All of our images are Debian GNU/Linux testing/unstable based. There are currently three sets of images but only the first two are officially supported:

• baseline images - for experimentation purposes
• kernel development images - for development purposes
• user contributed images - user supplied images which others may make use of

Baseline images
