Hi guys,

I am one of the developers for TurnKey Linux, an opensource project that aims to develop high-quality software appliances that are easy to use, easy to deploy, and free. Our motto is "everything that can be easy, should be easy!"

We recently released TurnKey MediaWiki, an easy-to-use, lightweight, installable live CD of MediaWiki that can run on real hardware in addition to most types of virtual machines. It is designed to provide users with a pre-integrated, turn-key operating system environment that is carefully built from the ground up with the minimum components needed to run MediaWiki with maximum usability, efficiency, and security.

Features:

• automatically updated on a daily basis with latest security patches
• Mac OS X themed web management interface
• configuration and installation console (written from scratch in Python)
• based on Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy LTS

I'm announcing it here so you guys can try it out, give us some feedback and help us spread the word.

"LiveCD" and "database" don't seem to mix well to me. :) Neat quick-install idea though...
