12 new appliances released

We just finished updating the site for our most exciting and ambitious batch of releases yet. The 2009.02 release, based on Ubuntu 8.04.2 LTS, features extensive improvements to usability, security and stability.

Time to get this show on the road...

We believe open source projects live and die by the community that builds around to support them, so naturally we would like to strongly encourage the community's involvement as much as possible.
