Now, the real pay off for using virtual machines lies in the setup and configuration of complex server stacks, like Ruby on Rails, Tomcat, Joomla! or Drupal. Regardless of platform, getting one of these instances running can range from a bit tricky to downright hair-pulling, but there are lots of services out there that offer pre-built stacks that handle this for you, like TurnKey Linux, Bitnami or JumpBox. - Alon Swartz

since I discovered TurnKeyLinux, which allows for appliace already fully functional to use, the temptation to experiment has become too strong. - Alon Swartz

TurnKey Linux virtual appliances are built almost entirely from unmodified Ubuntu binaries, it is possible for anyone to verify the integrity of the binaries that make up a virtual appliance against the original package signatures from the official Ubuntu repositories. - Alon Swartz

In this article by Alfonso Romero, we will learn how to configure NetBeans, VirtualBox and the Turnkey LAMP Appliance to develop complex PHP applications in a virtual environment. This article explains the process of creating a virtual machine, configuring the NetBeans PHP IDE, and managing a WordPress project with NetBeans in a step wise manner. - Alon Swartz

Many moons ago I was involved with a project of creating an internal wiki to host an internal document and solutions guide for the I.S. department I worked for. I wanted to use MediaWiki or MoinMoin but was challenged to create a LAMP, WAMP OR WIMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP / Windows, Apache, MySql, PHP / Windows, IIS, MySQL, PHP) and was unsure how all these were setup. As a result we used instiwiki and got by, but I was never satisfied with our result. - Alon Swartz

ach appliance is composed of a stripped-down Ubuntu installation (TurnKey core). The latest release batch is now based on Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS, the third maintenance update to the Long Term Support (LTS) version of the Ubuntu Linux distribution, and since the developers wanted to expand their virtual appliance library, includes 25 "all new" appliances . - Alon Swartz

Ubuntu is converging quickly with cloud services. A prime example: Turnkey Linux is launching 12 Ubuntu Server Edition software appliances that users can deploy in various cloud services. The news comes only a few weeks after Canonical said Ubuntu 9.10 will leap into Amazon.com’s cloud. I’m intrigued, but I wonder if customers will join the Ubuntu cloud party. - Alon Swartz

I have followed some links what my friend has suggested, and I'm well surprised. This *buntu based specialised distro called Turnkey linux has many things together to worth to try it out. This is an administrators dream... - Alon Swartz

When TurnKey met Drupal - To make things more difficult we started out two years ago without any experience with content management systems and were initially overwhelmed by the many options available. Fortunately we found Drupal and as we explored deeper it quickly became clear that it would be the superior choice for the project's needs. - Alon Swartz

Are you thinking about using Joomla, Tomcat, or a traditional LAMP Stack? Do you need it up litterally Tommorrow so you can start developing a solution? Don't worry there are solutions out there to get you up and running a base configuration before in less time that it will take you to read this article. - Alon Swartz

Turnkey Linux is an interesting open source project I happened across fairly recently. They have several different specialized Ubuntu-based Linux distros tuned specifically to run certain scripts. The slim OSes run around 150MB in size, and have just the right packages installed for a trouble-free experience. - Alon Swartz

I was looking for something simpler. I wanted to run an entire Apache MySQL PHP (AMP) in a sandbox. Something that is isolated from Vista on my laptop. After, hours of googling, I came across this great “Appliance Linux” distribution known as turnKey. So what is turnkey? In a nutshell it is a pre-configured environment to perform a particular task. For example TurnKey LAMP will contain Apache , MySQL and Php along with a barebones Linux kernel built from the Ubuntu distro. The advantage of such a setup is that the whole thing needs just 128 MB of RAM. - Alon Swartz

For most of us, if we want to change something in our blog, we straightaway implement it on our blog without even testing! Is it right? Actually this is a big risk because if something goes wrong and crashes our web site….. we are doomed! So its better to test before you implement it. But, how are we going to test it? - Alon Swartz

At work we wanted to set up a Wiki to track our development documentation. Using the MediaWiki appliance we had a complete running VM of MediaWiki within 6 minutes of downloading it. If you are interested in experimenting with any of these software packages, you must check TurnKey Linux out. - Alon Swartz

We use MindTouch Core internally and on our development wiki and love it, so we were excited when Aaron (MindTouch’s CEO) invited us to guest blog and spread the word about what we’re trying to achieve at TurnKey Linux and why you should care. - Alon Swartz

TurnKey Linux is different from your regular Linux distributions. Unlike most distributions, Turnkey Linux offers a turnkey solution and lets you download TurnKey Linux appliances according to your needs that are ready to run. The components are called appliances. - Alon Swartz

The Turnkey Domain Controller is a Linux-based file and print server that can be used as a Primary Domain Controller for Windows hosts...without the need for a Windows Server, ideal for a small, mobile or temporary office. - Alon Swartz

The hardest part for me has been getting the development environment up and running. Some guides will walk you through setting up Ruby and then Rails directly on your Windows machine, but I abandoned that pretty quickly. You’ll soon grow tired of having to translate 99% of the Rails articles you read from Linux to Windows. I’ve found that running a development server in a virtual machine (more on that later) is a better way to go. It was a somewhat hairy process so we’ll walk through the steps it took to make it work. - Alon Swartz
