Dear user,

Last week TurnKey Linux came out of beta in its last release based on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. Though Canonical will continue supporting Ubuntu 8.04 for another 3 years, all future releases of the virtual appliance library will be based on the upcoming Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) Long Term Support version.

The current out-of-beta release features:

  • Bugfixes for all outstanding issues
  • Pre-installation of security updates
  • Improved Amazon EC2 support: simplified free subscription, support for all regions, EBS auto-mounting, and automatic EC2 instance setup
  • Support for TurnKey Hub: a simplified cloud deployment service soon to launch in private beta.

For an invitation to the TurnKey Hub beta register here.
