Aegir is an open-source hosting system that allows administrators to rapidly deploy new Drupal sites and treat them as nodes. It provides a graphical interface for installing and managing multiple sites from a single codebase. The document discusses installing Aegir on Debian-based systems like Debian or Ubuntu, setting up the required LAMP stack, configuring Aegir, and using its interface to create and install new Drupal sites.
