2009.10 release: 40 new appliances + Amazon EC2
,----[ Quote ]
| I'm proud to announce the 2009.10 release
| batch featuring:
|
| * 25 new additions to the TurnKey Linux
| virtual appliance library
| * added native virtual appliance
| packaging (OVF support included)
| * Amazon EC2 support, with EBS
| persistence
| * Core improvements: Ajax web shell,
| upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04.3
|
| The project recently celebrated its one year
| birthday. Since our last major release in
| March the project picked up steam with
| weekly downloads increasing over 500% (we
| just flew past 60,000 downloads). Not bad
| for a new server oriented project. With all
| the goodies in this new release, and all the
| stuff we're working on for the next release,
| TurnKey Linux's second year should be even
| more interesting.

| cpio, e2fsprogs, strace, VIM, and xinetd),

Linux and plethorization
,----[ Quote ]
| For the many years I've been writing about Linux, it has always
| amazed me that no distro ever wins, in the sense that it
| vanquishes many opponents in the marketplace. Instead success
| breeds other successes through forks, variants and derivations
| by other labels.

Distribution Variation
,----[ Quote ]
| I could use one variant that let
| me choose my desktop environment and applications during
| install time. The installer could use either a network
| repository, or on disc repository depending on the ISO file.
