[News] Free Software Installation Heaven in JumpBox

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Jump start your Web app deployment with a JumpBox

,----[ Quote ]
| A JumpBox contains a streamlined Ubuntu 8.04 LTS distribution stripped down 
| to running only a particular Web app and its dependencies, including a Web 
| server (generally Apache), a database server (generally MySQL or PostgreSQL), 
| a scripting language (such as PHP, Perl, Python, or Ruby), and other 
| essential libraries.

This trashes the FUD about FOSS being "difficult to install".

BitNami Adds Modules

,----[ Quote ]
| Previously, each piece of software you installed with BitNami was entirely
| self-contained. For example, if you used their packaging to put both
| WordPress and Drupal on the same server, you'd end up with two copies of
| Apache, two of MySQL, and so on. While this made for easy configuration and
| trouble-free installs, it also had the potential to waste a lot of disk space
| and system resources.

| The new approach makes using BitNami to set up a corporate server with a
| variety of open source software easier than ever.
