## Technical Details
The Pi-hole is an **advertising-aware DNS/Web server**. If an ad domain is queried, a small Web page or GIF is delivered in place of the advertisement. You can also [replace ads with any image you want](http://pi-hole.net/faq/is-it-possible-to-change-the-blank-page-that-takes-place-of-the-ads-to-something-else/) since it is just a simple Webpage taking place of the ads.

#### Other Operating Systems
The automated install is only for a clean install of a Debian family or Fedora based system, such as the Raspberry Pi. However, this script will work for most UNIX-like systems, some with some slight **modifications** that we can help you work through. If you can install `dnsmasq` and a Webserver, it should work OK. If there are other platforms you'd like supported, let us know.
