I know you guys like VirtualBox, but I'm a vmware kinda guy.   Here is my first contribution to the project.   There are 2 free (as in beer) vmware editions -- vmware player and vmware server.   What most developers want is VMWare Workstation, but that's $180.   VMWare server is really too complicated and not well suited to the single developer -- but it's free.  

Well, I can't honestly say it's better than JumpBox -- as I've never tried them.  I've fondly oogled their website for some time now -- WISHING I had a reason to pay for their service, but could never justify the price.

I'm so happy to have found Turnkey!   This is exactly what I've been looking for.   I installed the Joomla appliance -- and it all went without a hitch.

 Hi all,

 I'm using your Rails appliance and I'm really enjoying. It saved me a lot of time. I have only one question. What motivated your choice for apache+mongrel_cluster? Have you already heard about Passenger? Maybe It would be a good choice too. Another suggestion is to include git with this appliance, since a great number of Railers uses it for SCM.

 Thanks for your attention. Just suggestions.

Hello there,

i just stumpled upon turnkey and i am thrilled. Very easy flawless installation even for a newbie like me.

i do have a some questions:

1. is it possibly to switch an appliances, specifically joomla, to ssl?

2. Is the appliance safe to use without any knowledge of server maintenance/security?

Moreover i would suggest to make an appliance out of opengoo or something similar...

First, congratulations to the Turnkey Linux developers.  I installed the Drupal version yesterday - it was easy, and I was able to start using Drupal immediately.  Many, many thanks, and keep up the great work.

Hi guys, I've just discovered turnkey linux by accident, as I'm looking to work on an Alfresco Appliance. I downloaded the Core Appliance but I'm not sure how to proceed. I have an Alfresco running at my company in a VM I started with JEOS. I had to install a lot of packages to support some features of alfresco. I'm not very experienced with Appliances or Alfresco but I'd like to experiment and maybe contribute with this appliance. The one I did was for a demo and the bosses like it. So I'd like to prepare one for production.

Twitter usage is exploding through the roof so I figured it was finally time to start broadcasting some project tweets for all your twitterers out there.

We are now using twitter feed to broadcast all news, updates and forum posts into TurnKey Linux's twitter account.

Next step is to figure out how to best promote our twitter presence on the website itself. I'm open to ideas!

 I just found interesting blog post on open source governance, not really turnkey specific but might interest some one.

cheers!

Hello,

I was planning on doing this exact same thing but you guys will save me a ton of time and effort. I look forward to contributing in one way or another. I hope to create some appliances for email, (maybe obm or egroupware). From there maybe I can test others items on my ESX cluster. Anyways look forward to helping out.
