Being new to linux and just discovering Turnkey i wanted to embrace your project.
With virtual machines becoming a commen tool for people, the turnkey dist(s). seams to be a great idea, specily for people who are just getting into linux servers.
I'm working on an Openfire appliance and a Wave Federation Server appliance, and trying out the new TKLPatch tool (so far so good, btw). A problem I've run into that poses a question:
The Openfire server requires Sun Java 6 JRE to run. The Wave Federation Server requires Sun Java 6 SDK. Turnkey Core does not have these installed. Both of these packages involve agreeing to Sun's licenses to install them. In terms of developing a patch, I've run into a roadblock because I haven't found (and doubt dpkg supports) a way to auto-agree to the license to apply the patch.
For all you developers out there itching to get your hands dirty with TurnKey, this is for you! We have just released TKLPatch. It's objective is to provide a dead-simple way in which an existing appliance can be extended/tweaked.
Example tweaks include updating a configuration file, adding data files, adding a package, and even creating a brand new appliance leveraging a generic appliance such as Core, LAMP, Rails, etc.
Go grab the code, take a look at the documentation, and get hacking.
For some Imagepresentations i like to get an easy to use, ultramobile, Lamp- Mini Server thats why i found Turnkey the perfect solution for my topic. The ISO Live CD works well on my old IBM Laptop. No Problem a all, but thats the problem i can't install on die Via Epic Board. Install. stops at

I love that you guys are using linux to help distribute all of this stuff. That said, it seems a bit silly that when I am on linux there isn't a program I can grab from synaptic or the add/remove applications. I understand that this is designed on a certain release, and that ugrades might make things go wonky, but installing a virtual version of ubuntu on ubuntu?
I don't know much about turnkey, I'm starting to love it, but is that really what is happening?
I have made this thread so as to consolidate and continue conversation going from ideas already discussed in this topic and this topic. A brief rundown of my vision can be found on the dev wiki.
Congratulations to all of the Turnkey for the excellent work, I'm working with Tomcat, Postgres, and Samba PDC, easy to install and configure, very good, my suggestion would be for a Proxy with web caching, URL filtering and firewall, with the possibility of control of users through access groups.
As you may or may not know, the sourcecode of all custom/forked components in TurnKey Linux appliances are hosted on http://code.turnkeylinux.org. We have received several requests to provide an easier way to download and collaborate on the code, so selected projects have been uploaded to http://github.com/turnkeylinux.
Drop us a note if you would like other components to be uploaded to github.
